Sagot :

Answer:

The correct option is (a)

Explanation:

Impulse is given by the product of force and time. It is denoted by J. So,

[tex]J=F\times t[/tex]

or

[tex]F=\dfrac{J}{t}[/tex]

It can be seen that the relation between the force and the impact time is inverse. Hence, the impact force and impact time possess inverse relation.
