The dimensional formula for impulse is same as the dimensional formula for

A

Momentum

B

Force

C

Rate of change of momentum

D

Torque

Step-by-Step Solution

Impulse is defined as the product of force and the time duration for which it acts, which equals the change in momentum (Impulse-Momentum Theorem).

  1. Impulse (II): I=F×ΔtI = F \times \Delta t. Dimensions = [MLT2]×[T]=[MLT1][MLT^{-2}] \times [T] = [MLT^{-1}] .
  2. Momentum (pp): p=mvp = mv. Dimensions = [M]×[LT1]=[MLT1][M] \times [LT^{-1}] = [MLT^{-1}] .
  3. Force: Force is the rate of change of momentum (F=dp/dtF = dp/dt). Dimensions = [MLT2][MLT^{-2}] .
  4. Torque: Torque is the moment of force. Dimensions = [ML2T2][ML^2T^{-2}] .

Since Impulse and Momentum share the same dimensions [MLT1][MLT^{-1}], they are the correct pair.
