Free Fall-Impact Calculation

This document provides calculations for the free fall and impact force of an object. It gives the input values of a drop height of 3.28 feet, acceleration of gravity of 32.14 feet/sec^2, and object mass of 0.038 slugs. The output calculations find the speed after free fall to be 14.52 feet/sec, the impact force to be 191.36 pounds, and the deceleration to be 157.44 feet/sec^2. Formulas for free fall, impact force, and deceleration are also listed.

Free Fall Calculation

Input imperial metric


drop height h= 3.28 ft 1.00 m
acceleration of gravity g= 32.14 ft/sec^2 9.80 ft/sec^2
stopping distance d= 0.0208 ft 0.00635 m
object mass m= 0.038 slugs 0.55 Kg
Weight w= 1.21 lb
d= 0.25 inch

Impact Force Calculation


Output
speed v= 14.52 ft/sec 4.43 m/sec
impact force F= 191.36 lb 847.05 Newton = 86.43402 Kg
g (acceleration) force a= 5060.75 ft/sec^2
deceleration g= 157.44

Formulas:
Conservation of energy (free fall):
m*g*h=1/2m*v2
v=square root (2*g*h)
Impact Force:
F*d=1/2m*v2
Deceleration formulas:
x=v*t
v=v0+at
x=(v0 * t) + (1/2 * a * t²)
