The formula is 2mv/t, m is mass, v is velocity at impact and t is the time contact is made durinmg impact. The hardest part about calculating the impact force is calculating t.

One way to calculate t is to estimate the stopping distance (the distance it takes to stop the object during collision), then the simple equations of motion can be used to derive t.

t=2x/(u+v) where v will equal 0 if object is stopped
