can you use a force v distance graph to find impulse
The area under a force â time graph gives us the impulse of the force applied (and hence the change in momentum of the object). For this graph the impulse (the area under the graph) is 2000 kg ms -1.f we multiply the force acting on an object by the time it is acting for this is called the impulse of a force. Impulse is a vector and its unit is the kilogram metre per second (kgms -1) or the newton second (Ns). So we can see that impulse is equal to the change in momentum.
