Impulse-Momentum Calculator implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

A zero-mass input creates an undefined velocity-change result through division by zero. The sign convention is also underspecified: treating force as signed versus magnitude-only changes both impulse and velocity-change signs.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.

  "working": "J=FΔt=120 N×0.25 s=30 N·s. Δv=J/m=30 kg·m/s÷60 kg=0.5 m/s."
