Answer 1

Units of impulse: N • s, kg • meters per second

Explanation:

Impulse is defined in two ways:

1)

Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted in a collision and the duration of the collision:

$I=F\Delta t$

where

F is the force

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

Since the force is measured in Newtons (N) and the time is measured in seconds (s), the units for the impulse are

$[I] = [N][s]$

So,

N • s

2)

Impulse is also defined as the change in momentum experienced by an object:

$I=\Delta p$

where the change in momentum is given by

$\Delta p = m\Delta v$

where m is the mass and $\Delta v$ is the change in velocity.

The mass is measured in kilograms (kg) while the change in velocity is measured in metres per second (m/s), therefore the units for impulse are

$[I]=[kg][m/s]$

so,

kg • meters per second
