Impact Shock Test and Collision Situations
Not what you're looking for?
Airplane flight recorders must be able to survive catastrophic crashes. They typically are encased in crash-resistant steel boxes. One of the tests is an impact shock test, in which the box must survive being thrown at high speeds against a barrier. A 41 kg box is thrown at a speed of 220 m/s and is brought to a halt in a collision that lasts for a time of 6.5 ms. What is the magnitude of the average net force that acts on the box during the collision?
