    Acceleration Force
AI Thread Summary
To calculate deceleration force, additional information is needed beyond the provided speed of 40 km/h and load of 1,516 kg. The discussion highlights that at a constant speed, the gravitational force on the load is zero. Clarification is required regarding the type of impact being referenced, as this affects the calculations. Specifically, the time involved in deceleration is crucial for determining the force or acceleration. Without this information, accurate calculations cannot be made.

Hi Guys & Girls,

Hereby, I am a newbie in this forum and I have a question which is regarding how to calculate the deceleration gravity force. Below is the information that I have,
1. Acceleration Speed = 40 km/hr
2. Tonne of the load on truck = 1,516 kg

So, is there any of the formulation to calculate the gravity force of the impact to the load? in "g" forces.

Hello GG, :welcome:

Sorry to disappoint you in this your first post: You don't have enough information. Also, your problem description is a bit cryptic: is it the whole story ?
And: 40 km/h is a speed, not an "acceleration speed" -- a term I don't recognize even after many years in physics

At a constant speed the g force on the load is zero.

The mass is 1516 kg. The speed is 40 km/h.

What kind of impact are you talking about? If you want to know the force or the acceleration you need more information, such as the amount of time involved.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
