At 60mph the force of your car impacting a surface is how many times as great as 30mph?
Double the speed yeilds double the impact force.
A car impacting another car head on will have how much force?
double
What does Force of Impact mean?
force of impact basiclly means that a force is impacting something! ~hope it helped(:
What is the verb for impact?
Impact is already a verb because it is an action.Impacts, impacting and impacted are also verbs."I will impact upon them"."The force impacted the wall".
Name at least two factors that determine force of impact?
One of the factors that determine force of impact is the object's mass. Another factor that will determine the force of impact is the object's velocity.
If you double the speed of a car you in crease its force of impact by?
4 times
At 60 mnp the force of your car impacting a surface is how many times as great as 30 mph?
4 times the impact. The formula is 1/2 mass times velocity squared.
What is the 6 letter word describing the force of one body against another?
The force of one body against another is "impact."
How does gravity impact friction?
With a fixed mass, if you say double the acceleration due to gravity, you would have to double the force to overcome friction.
At 60mph the force of your car impacting a surface is times as great as 30mph?
4 times.
Does Crash severity increases with the speed of the vehicle at impact?
Yes, all things being equal, crash severity does increase proportional to the speed of each vehicle at impact, and is a vector sum. So, there is a big difference between crash severity at impact from being "rear-ended" (when one vehicle is traveling the same direction as another, and impacts the front of their vehicle with the rear of another) and a "head-on" impact (two cars traveling into one another, impacting both front bumpers). In the rear-end impact, you take the momentum (mass times velocity) of the rear, impacting vehicle "A" and subtract the momentum of the front-most impacted vehicle "B", and that gives you the resultant impact force (the difference in momentum being transferred). weak impact scenario example: vehicle A is traveling 60 mph, and vehicle B is the same mass and is traveling 50 mph. The difference in momentum would be the mass times 10 mph...not much. severe impact scenario: vehicle A is traveling 70 mph, and vehicle B is at rest (0 mph)...large impact. In the head-on impact, you have the most severe crash scenario. In this case, you ADD the momentum of vehicle A with the momentum of vehicle B, and you get the resultant force of impact. Even if both vehicles are traveling 30 mph, with the same mass, and have a heaad-on collision, the is close to the same as one vehicle traveling 10 mph and hitting the other vehicle going 70 mph...severe impact.
