In kinematics the product of Force and Time is called the Impulse. It has the same dimensions as Momentum.

Thus Force has dimensions [M][L][T-2], so Impulse has dimensions [M][L][T-1], which is the same as Momentum which is Mass x Velocity. So if you apply an impulse of value Ft to a body it causes a change in momentum MV2 - MV1.

What are the two factors that can affect impulse?

The two factors that can affect impulse are the force applied and the duration of time over which the force is applied. A greater force or a longer duration of force application will result in a greater impulse.


What equals an impulse of 10 units?

An impulse of 10 units can be achieved by applying a force of 10 Newtons to an object for a duration of 1 second. Impulse is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the time duration it is applied for.


impluse is the product of average applied on the object and how long the force act on the object?

No, impulse is not the product of average applied force and the duration of the force. Impulse is the integral of the force with respect to time.


What is the name given to the force exerted by the first object on a second?

applied force


What is the name to the force exerted by the first object on a second object?

applied force


The name of the force you exert on a sponge when you squeeze it is called?

The force you exert on a sponge when you squeeze it is called compression force.


What is the name for the effect a force has when it is applied to one end of a lever and tries to turn the lever?

The name for this effect is torque. Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force and is calculated as the force applied multiplied by the distance from the pivot point.


The product of a force acting on an object and the duration the force acts upon the object is called?

The product of a force acting on an object and the duration the force acts upon the object is called impulse. Impulse is a vector quantity that represents the change in momentum of an object. It can be calculated by multiplying the force applied by the time over which it acts.


If a box is hit with a 280 N force for .08 seconds. What is the impulse on the box?

The impulse on the box is equal to the force applied multiplied by the time duration it was applied for. In this case, the impulse would be 280 N * 0.08 s = 22.4 Ns.


In terms of impulse and momentum why do airbags in cars reduce the chances of injury in accidents?

Air bags increase the time the force is applied and decrease the force, so the result is a lesser force for a longer duration.


What is the relationship between impact force and time as momentum decrease to zero?

As momentum decreases to zero, the impact force typically decreases as well, but the time over which the force is applied increases. This relationship is described by the impulse-momentum theorem, which states that the change in momentum is equal to the force applied multiplied by the time over which it is applied. In general, a longer time duration for the force to act results in a smaller force required to bring the object to rest.


When a ramp is at a angle of 10.5 degrees what will be the applied force?

The applied force will depend on the required force, and the angle to the ramp (or the horizontal) at which the force is applied.
