Impulse to Force Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Force (F) from Impulse (J) is:

\[ \text{F} = \frac{\text{J}}{\text{t}} \]

Where:

\( \text{F} \) is the Force (N)
\( \text{J} \) is the Impulse (N-s)
\( \text{t} \) is the Time (s)

Impulse and Force Relationship

Impulse is defined as force times time. Therefore, to convert an impulse to a force, the time must be known, then you divide the impulse by that time.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Impulse (J): 50 N-s
Time (t): 2 seconds

Using the formula to calculate the Force:

\[ \text{F} = \frac{50}{2} = 25 \, \text{N} \]

This demonstrates that with an impulse of 50 N-s and a time duration of 2 seconds, the resulting force would be 25 N.
