Finding Impact of m 400 lb and v = 260 mph

Detailed Procedure to Calculate Impact Force for m = 400 lb, v = 260 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 = 400 lb & Velocity = 260 mph & Distance = 30 ft:

Given that,

mass (m) = 400 lb

velocity (v) = 260 mph

distance (d) = 30 ft

⇒ Convert the mass 400 lb to "Kilograms (kg)"

Mass in Kg = 400 ÷ 2.204623

Mass in kg = 181.4369 kg

⇒ Convert Velocity value 260 mph to " m/s"

Velocity in m/s = 260 ÷ 2.237

Velocity in m/s = 116.2271 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 =
181.4369 x (116.2271)2 / 9.1436

F = 134027.946969 N

∴ Imapct Force (F) = 134027.946969 N
