IMPULSE

Remember impulse is the change in momentum. we may define impulse as average force times time interval, what we mean by average force is that force value which, when multiplied by the time interval gives the total area under the force vs time curve during that interval. That is, if a force changes very quickly with time, its net effect on the momentum of the object is simply the impulse, which is really the area under the force vs time curve.


I found this online, funny and interesting thought i would share it with you guys

    This cartoon originally referred to the invisible hand of the marketplace that the manager at left was using that as an excuse to lower the young guys pay, or even to bump him out of his job. I thought impulse was a good metaphor for what happens to the poor guys metaphorical momentum due to invisible forces he cannot control.
