State whether the following statement is true or false:
Impulse represents the rate of change of momentum of a body.
Impulse represents the rate of change of momentum of a body.
(B) The statement is False.
Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of a body, not the rate of change of momentum.
Mathematically, Impulse $(J) = \Delta p = F \times \Delta t$, where $\Delta p$ is the change in momentum.
The rate of change of momentum $(\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t})$ is equal to the force $(F)$ applied to the body, according to Newton's Second Law of Motion.
