Impact Force Calculator

Calculate the impact force from moving objects, falling objects, or crashes. Determines the average impact force based on mass, velocity, and deformation distance.

Scenario	Mass (kg)	Velocity (m/s)	Height (m)	Deformation (m)	Impact Force (kN)	Times Gravity
Car Crash - 60 km/h	2000	16.7	0	0.5	558	28.5
Car Crash - 90 km/h	2000	25	0	0.5	1275	65
Falling Car - 14.2 m	2000	0	14.2	0.5	558	28.5
Person Falling - 1.2 m	90	0	1.2	0.02	53	60.2
