Graphical Representation of Impulse
Since in impulse the impact interval usually is very short, we take the impact force as uniform. Therefore, in the simplified version, impulse is represented by the area under the Force vs Time graph involved. Look at the figure below.
In this case, we have F⃗ = 20 N and Δt = 0.2 s - 0.1 s = 0.1 s. Hence,
