What about using the term impulse to describe a large but exceptionallybrief
force? Is this a well defined concept?
Justin Parke
Impulse is already a well-defined concept! Impulse is >the total change in
momentum caused by application of a force over some >time interval. It can
be found by integrating Fdt, but it's still the change >in momentum.
