Impact force is the force exerted when two objects collide or come into contact with each other.
Average Impact Force Formula |
||
| \( F_{ai} \;=\; \dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 \cdot d } \cdot m \cdot v^2 \) | ||
| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( F_{ai} \) = Average Impact Force | \(lbf-ft\) | \(J\) |
| \( d \) = Collision Distance | \(ft\) | \(m\) |
| \( m \) = Mass | \(lbm\) | \(kg\) |
| \( v \) = Velocity | \(ft\;/\;sec\) | \(m\;/\;s\) |
