Total Impulse Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Total impulse
Total impulse is the product of the average thrust and the total time of firing for a rocket.
Symbol: Tt
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Thrust
Thrust is the force produced by the expulsion of high-speed exhaust gases from a rocket engine.
Symbol: F
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Initial time
Initial time is start time when the force applied.
Symbol: t i
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Final time
Final time is the end time when the force is applied.
Symbol: tf
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
int
The definite integral can be used to calculate net signed area, which is the area above the x -axis minus the area below the x -axis.
Syntax: int(expr, arg, from, to)

FAQs on Total Impulse

What is the formula to find Total Impulse?
The formula of Total Impulse is expressed as Total impulse = int(Thrust,x,Initial time,Final time). Here is an example- 58250 = int(5825,x,20,30).
How to calculate Total Impulse?
With Thrust (F), Initial time (t i) & Final time (tf) we can find Total Impulse using the formula - Total impulse = int(Thrust,x,Initial time,Final time). This formula also uses Definite Integral Function function(s).
Can the Total Impulse be negative?
No, the Total Impulse, measured in Time cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Total Impulse?
Total Impulse is usually measured using the Second[s] for Time. Millisecond[s], Microsecond[s], Nanosecond[s] are the few other units in which Total Impulse can be measured.
