If the force is non-constant, and reverses itself over time, it can give a zero impulse. For example, the spring force would give a zero impulse over one period of oscillation.

What is force times time?

Force times time is a quantity known as impulse. It represents the change in momentum of an object when a force is applied over a period of time. Impulse is calculated as the product of force and the time over which the force acts.


What happens to momentum when an impulse acts on a system?

Strictly speaking, you would say that a force acts on a system and the impulse of that force corresponds to the change in momentum of the system due to the action of the force. More mathematically, the impulse of a force is defined as the integral of that force with respect to time over the time period that the force acts.


What is the product of poundal of force and second of time?

The product of (force x time) is the quantity called 'impulse'. It has the same units as momentum and, indeed, an impulse imparted to an object increases its momentum by that amount. In the metric system, it's easy. A newton-second is a kilogram-meter per second. But in this case, all you have for impulse is something called a "poundal-second", which I have no idea what other unit that may be equivalent to. I don't even know what the unit of momentum is in the 'customary' system. Foot-pound per second ? Slug-mile per hour ? Who knows ?


How is the transfer of momentum 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).


Inertia will not be affected when this type of force is zero.?

Inertia will not be affected when "net" or "net force" is zero.

When impulse will be zero?

An impulse will be zero when the force acting on an object is zero or when the force is applied for a very short period of time. In other words, when the change in momentum of an object is zero, the impulse will also be zero.


Can impulse of force zero even force is not 0?

Yes. A non-zero force may not be sufficient to alter the velocity - for example if it is smaller that the limiting friction. No change in velocity implies no change in momentum and so impulse = 0.


Impulse refers to both force and?

Impulse refers to both force and time....... Impulse=(the change in Force)*(time) OR Impulse=the change in Momentum


How is impulse related to force?

Impulse is the product of force and the time over which the force is applied. Therefore, impulse is directly related to force, as a larger force applied over a longer time will result in a greater impulse. Mathematically, impulse is equal to the force multiplied by the change in time.


How to find impulse with force and time?

To find impulse with force and time, you can use the formula: Impulse Force x Time. Simply multiply the force applied by the amount of time it is applied to calculate the impulse.


What type of socket ensures that even force is applied to the processor?

ZIF (Zero Insertion Force)


What is the impulse of a force of 10N exerted over 5s?

The impulse of a force is the product of the force and the time it is applied. In this case, the impulse is 10N * 5s = 50Ns.


Impulse is the product of force and the what During which that force acts?

time


Why is it incorrect to say that impulse equals momentum?

Impulse is the change in momentum. Therefore Impulse is only equal to momentum if the initial momentum was equal to zero. Its the same phenomenon as position and displacement. Impulse= final momentum-initial momentum= mv - mv_0= Force * Time Where m is the mass and v is the velocity.


Can a moving object have impulse in itself?

yes moving objects have impulse


How do you you calculate impulse?

Impulse is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the time interval over which the force is applied. The equation for impulse is J = F * Δt, where J is the impulse, F is the force, and Δt is the time interval.


The value of the impulse equals the force x the?

The value of the impulse equals the the force times the time.
