Sagot :
The impulse of a force is due to the change in the motion of an object
A. The persons speed after impact is approximately 59.38 mi/h
B. The expected speed is 29.89 mi/h which is less than the findings
Reason:
Known parameters are;
The speed of the bus, v = 30 mi/h
The force with which the person was hit, F = 58,000 lbs
Mass of the bus, M = 40,000 lbs
Mass of the person, m = 150 lbs
Duration of the impact, Δt = 0.007 seconds
A. The speed of the person at the end of the impact, v, is given as follows;
The impulse of the force = F × Δt = m × Δv
For the person, we get;
58,000 lbf ≈ 1866094.816 lb·ft./s²
58,000 lbf × 0.007 s = 150 lbs × Δv
1,866,094.816 lb·ft./s²
[tex]\Delta v = \dfrac{1,866,094.816\ lbs \times 0.007 \, s}{150 \, lbs} \approx 87.084 \ ft./s[/tex]
Δv = v₂ - v₁
The initial speed of the person at the instant, can be as v₁ = 0
The final speed, v₂ = Δv - v₁
∴ v₂ ≈ 87.084 ft./s - 0 = 87.084 ft./s
≈ 87.084 ft./s
[tex]v_2 \approx \dfrac{87.084 \ ft./s}{y} \times\dfrac{1 \ mi}{5280 \ ft.} \times \dfrac{3,600 \ s}{1 \, hour} \approx 59.38 \ mi/h[/tex]
The speed of the person at the end of the impact, v₂ ≈ 59.38 mi/h
B. Where the momentum is conserved, we have;
m₁·v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)·v
[tex]v = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot v_1 + m_2 \cdot v_2}{m_2 + m_1}[/tex]
[tex]v = \dfrac{40,000 \times 30 + 150 \times 0}{40,000 + 150} \approx 29.89[/tex]
The expected speed of the person at the end of the impact is 29.89 mi/h, and therefore, the findings does not agree with the expectation
