Average Impact Force

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

 

Average Impact Force Formula
\( F_ai \;=\;  (1\;/\;2\;d) \; m \; v^2  \)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( F_ai \) = Average Impact Force	\(lbf-ft\)	\(J\)
\( d \) = Collision Distance	\(ft\)	\(m\)
\( m \) = Mass	\(lbm\)	\(kg\)
\( v \) = Velocity	\(ft\;/\;sec\)	\(m\;/\;s\)
