Is the preposition in grammatical here?
Oxford dictionaries gives the following example:
The use of impact as a verb to indicate greater effect seems to have come into use in the 1960s. Impact 通常指“ 重大的影响 ”，名词，动词形式都有。 我们先来看 impact: Nowadays, we often see the word impact being used as a verb. Her speech made a profound impact on everyone.

Impact (early 17th century) comes from the past form of the same source.
