impulse

Definition

A term used in biomechanical research. An impulse is a vector quantity associated with the momentum of a mass; when a force is applied to a rigid body it changes the momentum of that body. It is defined as an integral of a force with respect to time (i.e. the product of a force and the time which it is applied: a small force applied for a long time can produce the same momentum change as a large force applied briefly). Every moving body has an impulse, and through contact with other bodies this impulse can be transferred from one to the other.

Eine physikalische, vektorielle Grösse, die der Bewegung eines Massenpunktes zugeordnet werden kann. Jeder bewegte Körper trägt einen Impuls, den er bei Stössen oder durch andere Wechselwirkungen (d. h. Kräfte zwischen den Körpern) ganz oder teilweise auf andere Körper übertragen kann.
