I wonder how could I calculate impact force of an object (eg. a stone) in a free fall impacting on the perfectly inelastic (perfectly hard) floor.
I know:
- m -mass of the falling object
- h -height of the fall
- v -speed at the time of impact
- t -time it...
I need help on how to approach this problem and which equations I can use.
It was a problem that we were supposed to think about, but even that's difficult. Here it is:
If there is a 70 lb. girl roller blading at a constant speed of 5 mph and she suddenly hits a rock and trips downward, what...
This may be more of an engineering question, but here goes:
I am designing an archery target and am trying to establish the impact force of the arrow on the target.
The arrow is traveling at 100.6m/s and weighs 22.68g, what would be the force of the arrow on the target?
How does this...
