Bullet Force Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Bullet Force is:

\[ Fb = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{m \cdot v^2}{d} \]

Where:

\(Fb\) is the average bullet impact force (N)
\(m\) is the mass of the bullet (kg)
\(v\) is the velocity of the bullet (m/s)
\(d\) is the stopping distance of the bullet (m)

What is Bullet Force?

A bullet force is defined as the average force applied to the object that a bullet is applying to an object during impact. In other words, when a bullet strikes an object, how much force is applied as a result of the impact.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Mass of the Bullet (m) = 0.01 kg
Velocity of the Bullet (v) = 800 m/s
Stopping Distance (d) = 0.05 m

Using the formula:

\[ Fb = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{0.01 \cdot 800^2}{0.05} = 6400 \, \text{N} \]

The Bullet Force is 6400 N.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Mass of the Bullet (m) = 0.02 kg
Velocity of the Bullet (v) = 700 m/s
Stopping Distance (d) = 0.04 m

Using the formula:

\[ Fb = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{0.02 \cdot 700^2}{0.04} = 12250 \, \text{N} \]

The Bullet Force is 12250 N.
