Question
Which of the following quantities has the same dimensions as impulse?
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Impulse is defined as force multiplied by time (F t). Its dimensions are (MLT⁻²)×T = MLT⁻¹. Momentum is mass times velocity, with dimensions M × LT⁻¹ = MLT⁻¹. Therefore, impulse and momentum have the same dimensions.
Hint
Consider the impulse-momentum theorem. The change in momentum of an object equals the impulse applied to it.
