Average Impact Force

 

Average Impact Force Formula

\( \bar {F}_{ai} \;=\;   \dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 \cdot d } \cdot m \cdot v^2  \)
Symbol English Metric
\( \bar {F}_{ai} \) = Average Impact Force \(lbf-ft\) \(J\)
\( d \) = Collision Distance \(ft\) \(m\)
\( m \) = Mass \(lbm\) \(kg\)
\( v \) = Velocity \(ft\;/\;sec\) \(m\;/\;s\)

Impact force is the force exerted when two objects collide or come into contact with each other.
