Homework Statement
Homework Equations
Kinetic energy = Ke = (1/2)(mv^2) (joules - J)
where m = mass (kg)
v = velocity (m/s)
The Attempt at a Solution
What I was thinking was that the kinetic energy is divided uniformly over the distance d and hence
Average crush force = mv^2 / 2d
But I don't know how to prove that. Of course I could try to explain it with words, but I don't feel that it is enough.
Thank you in advance.
