Impulse of force is a process of reducing and minimizing the impact of force on the object.
Explanation:
If an impact stops the moving object then the change in momentum will become a fixed quantity, extending the time of collision and reducing the time of impact.
For example, If a person jumps to the ground with a certain height the person will bend knees to extend the time of collision while hitting the ground and reducing the time of impact to prevent much injury.
