Formula
The Impulse Calculator uses the formula:
Impulse = Force × Time
Worked example
For example, with force of 100 N and time of 0.5 s, the impulse is 50.0000.
| Force | 100 N |
|---|---|
| Time | 0.5 s |
| Impulse | 50.0000 |

Key terms explained
- Force
- A push or pull on an object, equal to mass × acceleration (Newton's second law).
Frequently asked questions
Impulse is force applied over time: J = F × t. A 100 N force for 0.5 s gives an impulse of 50 N·s.
Impulse equals the change in momentum, so a given impulse changes an object's velocity by a predictable amount.
Newton-seconds (N·s), which are equivalent to kilogram-metres per second.
They extend the time of impact, so the same momentum change needs less force, lowering injury.
The Impulse Calculator uses the formula: Impulse = Force × Time. For example, with force of 100 N and time of 0.5 s, the impulse is 50.0000.
