Does the length of time that a force acts on an object have any effect on the strength of the impulse produced? Explain.

Whether the length of time that the force acts on an object have any effect on the strength of the impulse produced.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
Yes, the length of time that the force acts on an object definitely have effect on the strength of the impulse produced.
Explanation of Solution
The expression for the impulse produced when a force acts on a body for a particular interval of time is
The main aspect associated with increasing the length of the time the force acts on the object can reduce the effect of the average force acting on the body. Thus if the impulse is constant, if we increase the time interval of the impact, we can reduce the average force acting on the body.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the length of time that the force acts on an object definitely have effect on the strength of the impulse produced.

- Mick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175. Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes.
