The statement “Impulse is a vector quantity” is true about Impulse.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation: </u>
The object’s action by applied force in a particular time interval, there happens changing in momentum called impulse. It is denoted by a symbol ‘J’ or ‘imp’ and expressed in a unit ‘Ns’. As impulse depends on the acted force, when a collision arises from front, behind or side, the force’s direction would be differed.
So, from this option A is false as impulse is not a force but changing momentum. The unit is not Newton, it is Newton second (Ns). The force direction differs (impulse direction) for each cases of collision, so option D also false. Hence, option B seems to be correct. Vector quantity deals with both direction and magnitude and important in motion study.
