Finding Impact of m 85 lb and v = 120 mph

Detailed Procedure to Calculate Impact Force for m = 85 lb, v = 120 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 = 85 lb & Velocity = 120 mph & Distance = 100 mm:

Given that,

mass (m) = 85 lb

velocity (v) = 120 mph

distance (d) = 100 mm

⇒ Convert the mass 85 lb to "Kilograms (kg)"

Mass in Kg = 85 ÷ 2.204623

Mass in kg = 38.5553 kg

⇒ Convert Velocity value 120 mph to " m/s"

Velocity in m/s = 120 ÷ 2.237

Velocity in m/s = 53.6433 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 =
38.5553 x (53.6433)2 / 0.1

F = 554734.428083 N

∴ Imapct Force (F) = 554734.428083 N

Impact Force for m = 85 lb, v = 120 mph & d = 100 mm Results in different Units
