How to calculate impulse from force
This calculator finds impulse from average force and contact time — commonly used in collision and impact analysis.
How the calculation works
Impulse = Average force × Contact time.
Example
500 N average force over 0.05 seconds: 500×0.05 = 25 N·s.
Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Impulse From Force
- In collisions, a longer contact time for the same impulse means lower peak force — this is the physics behind airbags and padding.
- Impulse equals the total change in momentum experienced during the contact period.
Common Impulse From Force Mistakes to Avoid
- Confusing average force with peak force during an impact, since these can differ significantly, especially for brief, high-intensity collisions.
