The correct answer is option 3) i.e. Change in momentum.

CONCEPT:

  • Impulse (I): It is the force applied for a certain time duration to cause a change in the momentum of a body.
    • Its SI unit is Ns.

It is the product of force (F) and time (t) for which the force is applied i.e.

I = F × t

EXPLANATION:

  • The SI unit of impulse is the newton second (Ns), and the dimensionally equivalent unit of momentum is the kilogram meter per second (kgm/s).

Additional Information

  • The SI unit of mass is the kilogram(kg).
  •  The SI unit of pressure is the pascal(N/m2).
