Physics 12 Week 14 · Force–Time Pulse Studio

Scientific scope and safety

A prescribed net impulse is the signed force–time area. A rectangle has constant force J/Δt; a symmetric linear triangle has peak 2J/Δt and mean J/Δt. Those peaks belong ONLY to the selected assumed waveforms, never to measured real-world impacts.
