Finding Impact of m 125 lb and v = 160 mph

Detailed Procedure to Calculate Impact Force for m = 125 lb, v = 160 mph & d = 100 mm

The formula for impact force expressed in terms of the body's velocity (speed) on impact (v), its mass (m), and the collision distance (d) is the formula below:

F =
m x v2 / d

Where,

F = Impact Force

m = Mass of object

v = velocity

d = collision distance


Step by Step Solution to find impact force of Mass = 125 lb & Velocity = 160 mph & Distance = 100 mm:

Given that,

mass (m) = 125 lb

velocity (v) = 160 mph

distance (d) = 100 mm

⇒ Convert the mass 125 lb to "Kilograms (kg)"

Mass in Kg = 125 ÷ 2.204623

Mass in kg = 56.699 kg

⇒ Convert Velocity value 160 mph to " m/s"

Velocity in m/s = 160 ÷ 2.237

Velocity in m/s = 71.5244 m/s

⇒ Convert Distance value 100 mm to " m"

Distance in m = 100 ÷ 1000

Distance in m = 0.1 m

Substitute the value into the formula

F =
56.699 x (71.5244)2 / 0.1

F = 1450286.086491 N

∴ Imapct Force (F) = 1450286.086491 N

Impact Force for m = 125 lb, v = 160 mph & d = 100 mm Results in different Units
