What physical quantity is represented by the area under the force-time graph?

In a force $F$ versus time $t$ graph for an object,the area enclosed in a time interval of $1 \ s$ is $100 \ Ns$. Calculate the magnitude of the force. (in $N$)

$A$ ball of mass $0.5\, kg$ moving with a velocity of $2\, m/s$ strikes a wall normally and bounces back with the same speed. If the time of contact between the ball and the wall is $1\, ms$,the average force exerted by the wall on the ball is ......... $N$.

$A$ solid horizontal surface is covered with a thin layer of oil. $A$ rectangular block of mass $m = 0.4 \ kg$ is at rest on this surface. An impulse of $1.0 \ N \ s$ is applied to the block at time $t = 0$ so that it starts moving along the $x$-axis with a velocity $v(t) = v_0 e^{-t/\tau}$,where $v_0$ is a constant and $\tau = 4 \ s$. The displacement of the block,in metres,at $t = \tau$ is. . . . . . . Take $e^{-1} = 0.37$.

Why does a cricket player move their hands backward while catching a fast-moving ball?

An engine pumps water continuously through a hose. Water leaves the hose with velocity $v$ and $m$ is the mass per unit length of the water jet. If this jet hits a surface and comes to rest instantaneously,the force on the surface is
