The dimensional formula for impulse is denoted as MLT-1. M stands for mass, L for length and T for time. Impulse is the change in momentum of an object brought about by the application of force acting over a certain time.
Impulse= Time * Force
Now, Force = Mass * Acceleration = Mass * (Length*Time-2)
Therefore, Impulse= (Mass*Length*Time-2) * Time
= Mass*Length*Time-1
= (MLT-1)
