1. The Impulse of a force

2. What is Impulse ? When a force acts on an object, it can change the motion of the object. The change will depend on the size of the force and how long a time the force acts for. The impulse is the size of the force ( F ) multiplied by the time ( t ) for which it acts. Impulse = Ft

3. More about Impulse Impulse has no special symbol. Impulse has no special units. We use newton seconds ( Ns )

4. Impulse and Momentum

5. An example A footballer taking a penalty kick strikes the ball for a time of 0.3 seconds using an average force of 120 newtons. If the mass of the ball is 430g, find the speed of the ball immediately after it is kicked.
