Momentum And Impulse: Impulse

The video tutorial introduces the concept of impulse, defined as force multiplied by time, and explains its significance in physics. It compares impulse to energy and work, emphasizing the importance of the average force applied over time. The tutorial uses examples like pushing a couch and hitting a baseball to illustrate impulse in action. It highlights the need to use average force in calculations and discusses the dynamics of force during a baseball hit, showing how force builds and decreases over time. The tutorial concludes with guidance on calculating impulse using average force.
