the time period is easily calculated, but what do you mean by "distance on which the object decelerates after dropping" how do i calculate this?

I have a fixed object of known mass (12kg) being impacted by an air pistion of known force (), I desperatly need to be able to calculate what height an object would have to be dropped to have the same force imparted to it that a specific known piston would. what equations do i use and what...

Hi drakkith, yes that's exactly what I need to calculate, is it possible ? Can you help ?

If I know the mass of an object, the force of impact, how do i calculate the distance the object is from the impact point? i have a stationay object of known mass being hit with a piston at a known force and speed can i work backwards and determine at what height if dropped would be equivalent...
