Kick Force Calculator:
Enter the values of mass, m(kg), change in velocity, V(m/s) and time interval, T(s) to determine the value of kick force, KF(N).
Kick Force Calculator Formula:
Kick force (KF) generally refers to the force exerted as a result of an object’s mass undergoing acceleration or a change in velocity over a specified time interval.
Kick force, KF(N)in Newtons, is determined by dividing the product of the mass, m(kg) in kilograms and the change in velocity, V(m/s) in metres per seconds, by the time interval, T(s) in seconds.
Kick force, KF(N) = m(kg) * V(m/s) / T(s)
KF(N) = kick force in Newtons, N.
m(kg) = mass in kilograms, kg.
V(m/s) = velocity in metres per seconds, m/s.
T(s) = time in seconds, s.
Kick Force Calculation:
1. Determine the Kick Force for an object with a mass of 10 kg, which changes velocity by 15 m/s over a period of 3 seconds.
Given: m(kg) = 10kg, V(m/s) = 15m/s, T(s) = 3s.
Kick force, KF(N) = m(kg) * V(m/s) / T(s)
KF(N) = 10 * 15 / 3
KF(N) = 50N.
2. Suppose an object with a mass of 12 kg changes its velocity by 36 m/s due to a force. If the resulting kick force is 72 newtons, calculate the time interval over which this velocity change occurs.
Given: m(kg) = 12kg, V(m/s) = 36m/s, KF(N) = 72N.
Kick force, KF(N) = m(kg) * V(m/s) / T(s)
T(s) = m(kg) * V(m/s) / KF(N)
T(s) = 12 * 36 / 72
T(s) = 6s.
