What is the impact force of a 50 lbs free falling from 11 inches height?
Force is change of momentum over time. You can't calculate that without knowing the time it takes for the object to stop after actually hitting the surface and even then it would be an estimate as the surface and object don't neccesarily have to keep the parameters of elasticity and plasticity all the time during impact. It might be better to speak of impact in terms of energy.
What is a surface model?
It's an object that's displayed at any angle with a solid surface or with the surface transparent, enabling the user to see the inner workings of the object.
An object that might impact a planet?
pluto
How does the surface of an object affect its motion?
The surface of an object affects the aerodynamic drag: a force which acts against the direction of motion.
What is surface area and how you can decrease or increase surface area?
You can increase surface area by spreading the object
What is a shadow formed by a translucent object called?
opaque object
What is formed when an object which does not allow light to pass through is in the path of light?
Depends on the surface of the object that the light is projected on. If the object has a polished surface like an inoxidable steel, or the object is a mirror, the light will produce a reflexion or the light comes back when it hits the mirror. Behind any object, is formed a shadow, since such object is not a glass.
What is the total area of all surface of an object called?
It is called "the total surface area".
How do you reduce the impact force when hits another object?
If before .........increase the friction of surface If after............increase the mass of stationary object
When does a metereor become a meterorite?
If an object from space survives impact with the Earth's surface, it is then a meteorite.
What is the name for a depression in the moon caused by an object striking its surface?
They are referred to as impact craters.
How does the height of the object or distance from the surface affect the impact crater?
Due to height and pressure
The area of darkness formed when an object blocks light is called a?
Its an opaque object.
Injury resulting from an impact with an object is called?
sciatica
How has exploration helped us learn about impacts of space objects on earth?
Exploration of other worlds has helps us learn about the impact of space objects. When an object strikes the surface of a larger object in space, it explodes and leaves behind a round pit called an impact crater.
What is the material that falls back to the lunar surface after being blasted out by the impact of a space object?
nj
What is exposed area of an object called?
Surface Area
