u call something as impulsive, when the force is relatively large and happens in relatively short span.. like collision, bat hitting ball, or collisions at sub atomic level
we often use this in our daily terms, we say .. "man he is impulsive :O".. sort of like takes drastic actions (like big force) , without thinking much (in small time)......... hope u get the feeling for it.. so now u can understand what non impulsive would be ;-)
