6.3.B—Describe the angular impulse delivered to an object or rigid system by a torque

Describe the angular impulse delivered to an object or rigid system by a torque.

  • Angular impulse is defined as the product of the torque exerted on an object or rigid system and the time interval during which the torque is exerted. Relevant equation: angulari mpulse
  • Angular impulse has the same direction as the torque exerted on the object or system.
  • The angular impulse delivered to an object or rigid system by a torque can be found from the area under the curve of a graph of the torque as a function of time.
