Impulse is force x time where the assumption is that the force is high and the time is short. Since force is rate of change of momentum of a free body, then impulse amounts to a sudden change of its momentum.

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.

What is rate of impulse?

The rate of impulse typically refers to the frequency at which an impulse, or sudden force, occurs in a given system. In physics, impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object when a force is applied over time, calculated as the product of force and the duration of time the force acts. Therefore, the rate of impulse can be considered in terms of how often these forces are applied, which can influence motion and dynamics in various contexts, such as mechanical systems or biological processes.
