English term or phrase: Stopping Capability
Hi everyone.

I am stuck here with the term "stopping capability" referring to air barriers. I have about 4 German options on my mind and hope you can help me find the most correct translation. Here is the whole thing for you to get an idea:

The strength of an Air Barrier follows the formula:

Mass X Velocity²

Therefore an Air Barrier that blows at twice the speed has 4 times the stopping capability at the same air volume.

Thank you kindly for your suggestions!

Das Bremsvermögen (englisch: Stopping Power) eines Materials ist die kinetische Energie, die ein geladenes Teilchen pro Weglängeneinheit beim Eindringen in das Material verliert, gemessen beispielsweise in MeV/cm (siehe Bild). Die Energie wird in verschiedenartigen Stoßprozessen aufgezehrt. Das Bremsvermögen hängt selbst von der augenblicklichen Teilchenenergie ab, außerdem von Material und Teilchenart.

Luft-Bremskraft


Explanation:
ausgehend von der Formel Mass x velocity ergibt sich Masse x Beschleunigung, und das ist = Kraft. Googlen mit dem Begriff Luft-Bremskraft gibt auch ein paar gute links
