(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In classical mechanics, an impulse changes the momentum of an object. An impulse is calculated as the integral of force with respect to duration.
The term can also refer to any short-duration signal such as a nerve impulse, or a notional signal used to calculate impulse response, in the continuous case the Dirac delta function.
