Enter the values of initial momentum, M_i(kg.m/s), final momentum, M_f(kg.m/s) and time, t_(s) to generate the value of Drop Force, F_d(N).

Drop Force Formula:

Drop force refers to the force exerted over time to change an object’s momentum, typically from a higher to a lower value, effectively measuring the rate of this momentum change.

Drop force, F_d(N) in Newtons is equal to the change in momentum, which is the difference between the initial momentum, M_i(kg.m/s) in kilogram metre per second and the final momentum, M_f(kg.m/s) in kilogram metre per second divided by the time interval, t_(s) in seconds over which the change occurs.

Drop force, F_d(N) = (M_i(kg.m/s) – M_f(kg.m/s)) / t_(s)

F_d(N) = drop force in Newtons, N.

M_i(kg.m/s) = initial momentum in kilogram metre per second, kg.m/s.

M_f(kg.m/s) = final momentum in kilogram metre per second, kg.m/s.

t_(s) = time in seconds, s.

Drop Force Calculation:

1. A car of mass 1000 kg decelerates from 20 m/s to 0 m/s in 5 seconds. Calculate the drop force exerted by the car.

Given: M_i(kg.m/s) = 1000kg * 20 = 20000kg.m/s,  M_f(kg.m/s) = 0kg.m/s, t_(s) = 5s.

Drop force, F_d(N) = (M_i(kg.m/s) – M_f(kg.m/s)) / t_(s)

F_d(N) = (20000 – 0) / 5

F_d(N) = 4000N.

2. Suppose a hockey puck with an initial momentum of 30 kg·m/s comes to a final momentum of 10 kg·m/s. If the drop force exerted during this process is 5 N, find the time over which this change occurs.

Given: M_i(kg.m/s) = 30kg.m/s, M_f(kg.m/s) = 10kg.m/s, F_d(N) = 5N.

Drop force, F_d(N) = (M_i(kg.m/s) – M_f(kg.m/s)) / t_(s)

t_(s) = (M_i(kg.m/s) – M_f(kg.m/s)) / F_d(N)

t_(s) = (30 – 10) / 5

t_(s) = 4s.
