1)anyone tells me what is the differences between impulse and impulsive force??

2) impulsive force = force X time
momentum = mass X change in velocity
impulse force = momentum. i know why but i don't understand why impulsive force is same as momemtum, if i want to decribe something about the punch of the frighter, i should say impulsive force ?? and when i should say it is momentum not impulsive force??

[tex]J = F\Delta t = ma\Delta t = m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t = m\Delta v = \Delta p[/tex] where J is the impulse. Impulse is the change in momentum not simply momentum =D.
 
for impulse formula is (mv-mu)/t ?
 
u= initial velocity, v=final velocity

Impulse is the change in momentum, and is given the symbol J.

Impulsive force is the force that acts to create the impulse, and has the symbol F.

[tex]\mathbf{J}=m\mathbf{v}-m\mathbf{v_0}=\mathbf{F}t[/tex]

So an equation for impulsive force would be what you posted above:

[tex]\mathbf{F}=\frac{m\mathbf{v}-m\mathbf{v_0}}{t}[/tex]
 
example for impulse and impulsive force?
