/**
 * In classical mechanics, impulse (symbolized by J or Imp) is the integral of a force, F, <br>
 * over the time interval, t, for which it acts. Since force is a vector quantity, <br>
 * impulse is also a vector quantity.<br>
 * 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).
