Impulse (HSC SSCE Physics): Flashcards

$I = \Delta p = F_{\text{net}} \Delta t$

kg m s⁻¹ or N s

Vector quantity

Area under the curve

$I = Ft$

$F_{\text{net}} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

Decreases force

Extends deceleration time, reduces maximum force

Deliberately deform, increasing collision time

Increase deceleration time; distribute force evenly
