  2. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_(physics)

    The impulse delivered by a varying force is the integral of the force F with respect to time: =. The SI unit of impulse is the newton second (N⋅s), and the dimensionally equivalent unit of momentum is the kilogram metre per second (kg⋅m/s).

  3. Impulse response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_response

    The impulse response from a simple audio system. Showing, from top to bottom, the original impulse, the response after high frequency boosting, and the response after low frequency boosting. In signal processing and control theory , the impulse response , or impulse response function ( IRF ), of a dynamic system is its output when presented ...

  4. Impulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse

    Impulse (physics), in mechanics, the change of momentum of an object; the integral of a force with respect to time; Impulse noise (disambiguation) Specific impulse, the change in momentum per unit mass of propellant of a propulsion system; Impulse function, a mathematical function of an infinitely high amplitude and infinitesimal duration

  5. Collision response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_response

    For fixed impulse , the equation suggests that | |, that is, a smaller time interval must be compensated by a stronger reaction force to achieve the same impulse. When modelling a collision between idealized rigid bodies, it is impractical to simulate the compression and expansion phases of the body geometry over the collision time interval.

  6. Newton-second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton-second

    The newton-second (also newton second; symbol: N⋅s or N s) [1] is the unit of impulse in the International System of Units (SI). It is dimensionally equivalent to the momentum unit kilogram-metre per second (kg⋅m/s). One newton-second corresponds to a one-newton force applied for one second.

  7. Specific impulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_impulse

    Specific impulse (usually abbreviated I sp) is a measure of how efficiently a reaction mass engine, such as a rocket using propellant or a jet engine using fuel, generates thrust. In general, this is a ratio of the impulse, i.e. change in momentum, per mass of propellant. This is equivalent to "thrust per massflow".

    At the end of September, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo quietly switched his voter registration address to an apartment on East 54th Street in Manhattan. It marked the first time he’d lived ...

  9. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    The impulse response can be computed to any desired degree of accuracy by choosing a suitable approximation for δ, and once it is known, it characterizes the system completely. See LTI system theory § Impulse response and convolution. The inverse Fourier transform of the tempered distribution f(ξ) = 1 is the delta function.
