In classical mechanics, impulse (symbolized by J or Imp) is the integral of a force, F,
over the time interval, t, for which it acts. Since force is a vector quantity,
impulse is also a vector quantity.
Impulse applied to an object produces an equivalent vector change in its linear momentum, also in the resultant direction. The SI unit of impulse is the newton second (N⋅s), and the dimensionally equivalent unit of momentum is the kilogram meter per second (kg⋅m/s).
