The impulse on a particle due to a force acting on it during a given time, interval is equal to the change in its

In classical mechanics, the impulse acting on a particle is defined as the product of the force applied and the time interval over which it acts. According to the impulse-momentum theorem, this impulse is exactly equal to the change in the particle's linear momentum. Mathematically, impulse is expressed as the integral of force with respect to time, which, based on Newton's Second Law, equates to the difference between the final and initial momentum (mv2 - mv1). While force causes the change, the impulse quantifies the total effect of that force over a specific duration. Therefore, when a force acts on a particle during a given time interval, the resulting impulse is equivalent to the change in its momentum, not its force, work done, or energy.
