How is transfer of momentum is related to force?

A force is required to change momentum.An "impulse" refers to the amount of momentum transferred; impulse can be defined as force x time (more precisely: the corresponding integral).

YES


Is impulse a vector?

Yes, Impulse is a vector.By definition impulse is a force F, multiplied by the amount of time dt thatis applied to a body with mass m, to give him an increment of velocity dv.F dt = m dv

The minimum amount of stimulation required to tell the difference between two stimuli is called the?

What is an impluse?

Impulse is defined as a force multiplied by the amount of time it acts over. In calculus terms, the impulse can be calculated as the integral of force with respect to time. Alternately, impulse can be calculated as the difference in momentum between two given instances. The SI units of impulse are N*s or kg*m/s.
