Finding Impact of m 280 lb and v = 140 mph

Detailed Procedure to Calculate Impact Force for m = 280 lb, v = 140 mph & d = 30 ft

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 = 280 lb & Velocity = 140 mph & Distance = 30 ft:

Given that,

mass (m) = 280 lb

velocity (v) = 140 mph

distance (d) = 30 ft

⇒ Convert the mass 280 lb to "Kilograms (kg)"

Mass in Kg = 280 ÷ 2.204623

Mass in kg = 127.0058 kg

⇒ Convert Velocity value 140 mph to " m/s"

Velocity in m/s = 140 ÷ 2.237

Velocity in m/s = 62.5838 m/s

⇒ Convert Distance value 30 ft to " m"

Distance in m = 30 ÷ 3.281

Distance in m = 9.1436 m

Substitute the value into the formula

F =
127.0058 x (62.5838)2 / 9.1436

F = 27202.121781 N

∴ Imapct Force (F) = 27202.121781 N

Impact Force for m = 280 lb, v = 140 mph & d = 30 ft Results in different Units
