### How to Calculate Impulse

#### Question:
Calculate the impulse delivered to a 155 kg piece of furniture pushed with a force of 90 N for 5 seconds.

#### Solution:
Impulse (J) is calculated using the formula:
\[ J = F \times t \]
where:
- \( J \) is the impulse,
- \( F \) is the force applied, and
- \( t \) is the time duration for which the force is applied.

Given:
- Force (\( F \)) = 90 N
- Time (\( t \)) = 5 seconds

\[ J = 90 \, \text{N} \times 5 \, \text{s} \]
\[ J = 450 \, \text{Ns} \]

Therefore, the impulse delivered to the piece of furniture is 450 Ns (Newton-seconds).

### Explanation:
Impulse is a vector quantity that represents the effect of a force acting over a period of time. It's directly proportional to both the magnitude of the force and the duration for which the force is applied. This concept is crucial in understanding how changes in momentum occur in physics.
