Enter the mass (kg), the acceleration (m/s^2), and the time (s) into the calculator to determine the Impulse From Acceleration.
Impulse From Acceleration Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Impulse From Acceleration.
I = m * a * t
- Where I is the Impulse From Acceleration (N-s)
- m is the mass (kg)
- a is the acceleration (m/s^2)
- t is the time (s)
How to Calculate Impulse From Acceleration?
The following example problems outline how to calculate the Impulse From Acceleration.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the mass (kg). In this example, the mass (kg) is given as 25 .
- Next, determine the acceleration (m/s^2). For this problem, the acceleration (m/s^2) is given as 15 .
- Next, determine the time (s). In this case, the time (s) is found to be 5.
- Finally, calculate the Impulse From Acceleration using the formula above:
I = m * a * t
Inserting the values from above yields:
I = 25 * 15 * 5 = 1875 (N-s)
Example Problem #2
Using the same method as above, determine the variables required by the equation. For this example problem, these are as follows:
mass (kg) = 35
acceleration (m/s^2) = 6
time (s) = 8
Entering these given values and solving gives:
I = 35 * 6 * 8 = 1680 (N-s)
