Definition: | additive axial vector quantity equal to the integral of moment of force M with respect to time t over a time interval [t1, t2], thus NOTE 1 For a time interval [t1, t2], angular impulse is equal to the variation of angular momentum L, thus H = L(t2) − L(t1) = ΔL. NOTE 2 The coherent SI unit of angular impulse is newton metre second, N·m·s.
