Which of the following is the dimension for impulse?

  • A. MLT\(^{-1}\)
  • B. MLT\(^{-2}\)
  • C. MLT
  • D. ML

Correct Answer: A. MLT\(^{-1}\)

Explanation

Impulse = Force \(\times\) time

Force has the dimension \(\frac{ML}{T^{2}}\), hence

Impulse= \(\frac{ML}{T^{2}} \times T = \frac{ML}{T}\)
