Impulsive Force Formula Elements

Variables
Impulsive Force
Impulsive Force is the force that produces an impulse, a sudden change in momentum, in a short period of time, typically in a collision or explosion.
Symbol: Fimpulsive
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Mass
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object or particle, and is a fundamental property in understanding kinetics of motion.
Symbol: Massflight path
Measurement: WeightUnit: kg
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Final Velocity
Final Velocity is the velocity of an object after a certain period of time or a certain distance of motion has been covered.
Symbol: vf
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Initial Velocity
Initial Velocity is the velocity of an object at the start of a motion, from which the object's subsequent motion is measured.
Symbol: u
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Time Taken to Travel
Time Taken to Travel is the duration required for an object to cover a certain distance under the influence of kinetic forces.
Symbol: t
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
