I need this for a calc I intend to do, so if anybody could help then it would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a formula to calculate the force of a landing? (Knowing speed and mass)

Wym by free fall? Cause you can do GPE either from this calculator or simply just M * g * h
M being mass (in kilograms)
G being gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s²)
H being the height they fell.

Well I just mean the force generated or the force applied to an object upon impact with the ground, thanks for the formula by the way.

For force, it depends but its usually
F = M * A
M = Mass
A = Acceleration, with the answers being in newtons.
To convert that to joules, use...
W = F * Displacement (Distance in meters) for Joules.
Though, I might be using the wrong thing, give more context?

So in Murder Drones Epsiode 4: Cabin Fever (Around 17:32 - 19:07), Uzi gets thrown into the air and then crash lands back down. I'm trying to calculate how much force she tanked.

OOOOOH. GPE would work. Simply find the distance and weight of Uzi.

I ended up using the website (Approximating Uzi's weight with the ASIMO robot which is almost the same size as Uzi), but the calcs ended up being at Wall Level which is less than Uzi's current tier (Small Building), so I guess this one was a bit of a waste of time.

After a bit, you will hit Terminal Velocity, at which point, it's just KE=1/2mv², where v is the terminal velocity. For a human, it's 52 or 53 m/s, and they hit terminal velocity at around 450 meters.

So you can use the formula for Kinetic Energy to calculate the force she took right?

Once terminal velocity is hit.
