Impulse An impulse is defined as a Force applied over a period of time. Applying a larger Force or longer lasting Force produces a larger impulse. A large impulse produces a large change in momentum. J=Δp FΔt=Δp FΔt=mv−mu FΔt=mΔv Δv=mFΔt J is impulse in kg m/s F is Force p is momentum v,u is velocity
