How It Works

Apply impulse-momentum theorem to sprint starts, jumps, and contact sports. Calculate change in momentum from impulse and determine net force from contact time data

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Impulse — The impulse recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Determine net force from contact time data — The determine net force from contact time data recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the impulse-momentum result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the impulse, determine net force from contact time data for the scenario you are assessing. Apply impulse-momentum theorem to sprint starts, jumps, and contact sports. Calculate change in momentum from impulse and determine net force from contact time data. Use the impulse-momentum result to inform your calculation.
