Newton-second

newton-second
newton-second
	For objects moving with the same velocity (v), each object's momentum (p) is proportional to its mass (m).
General information
Unit system	SI
Unit of	impulse and momentum
Symbol	N⋅s
Named after	Isaac Newton
In SI base units:	kg⋅m/s

The newton-second (also newton second; symbol: N⋅s or N s) is the unit of impulse in the International System of Units (SI). It is dimensionally equivalent to the momentum unit kilogram-metre per second (kg⋅m/s). One newton-second corresponds to a one-newton force applied for one second.

{\vec {F}}\cdot t=\Delta m{\vec {v}}

It can be used to identify the resultant velocity of a mass if a force accelerates the mass for a specific time interval.
