Calculation Formula

Angular Impulse (J) = Torque (τ) × Time (Δt)

Where:
J = Angular impulse (Nm·s)
τ = Torque (Nm)
Δt = Time (s)

Angular impulse calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Angular impulse calculator calculator and its working principles

How to use the calculator

  1. Enter the torque value in Newton-meters (Nm). This is the rotational force applied to the object.
  2. Enter the time duration in seconds (s) over which the torque is applied.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the angular impulse.
  4. The result will be displayed in Newton-meters per second (Nm·s), which represents the change in angular momentum.

Working Principle

Angular impulse is the product of torque and the time over which it is applied. It represents the change in angular momentum of an object. The formula used is:

J = τ × Δt

Where:

  • J = Angular impulse (Nm·s)
  • τ = Torque (Nm)
  • Δt = Time duration (s)

Applications

Angular impulse is used in physics and engineering to analyze rotational motion. It's particularly useful in sports biomechanics, vehicle dynamics, and mechanical systems where rotational forces are involved.
