What biomechanical concept is defined by the product of a force and the time during which the force acts?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify the biomechanical concept equivalent to force multiplied by the time the force acts. We need to know the definitions of Work, Momentum, Power, and Impulse to answer correctly.
Answer
Impulse
The biomechanical concept defined by the product of a force and the time during which the force acts is called impulse.
Answer for screen readers
The biomechanical concept defined by the product of a force and the time during which the force acts is called impulse.
More Information
Impulse is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. It is measured in Newton-seconds (Ns).
Tips
A common mistake is confusing impulse with momentum or force. Impulse is the change in momentum of an object.
