Compute signed momentum change and equivalent average net force for a chosen one-dimensional body.
Momentum p=mv and net impulse J_net=Δp=m(v_final−v_initial). Average net force J/Δt is an interval mean, not a prediction of actual peak force. The displayed rectangle is an equivalent mathematical pulse only.
Area under the signed curve equals net impulse. Numerical values and a table are provided below for nonvisual comparison.
