What is the amount of force needed to crack a windshield with a small rock?

A rock as small in mass as a few grams, impacting with a relative speed as low as 30 mph (48 kph), can cause a fracture in older glass. There is no standard or constant strength for auto glass. It would depending on the type of glass, its age, and any existing micro-flaws in the glass lattice. Sometimes a small chip will expand into a crack with thermal expansion in the hot sun. Other times, a windshield can resemble the cratered surface of the Moon and never crack or fail.

What is a dynamic force?
In physics, dynamic force can be closely described as the amount of acceleration/velocity, usually in uniform circular rotation, needed to move an object.
What is the alleged defect with the Mini Cooper's windshield allegedly causing it to crack?
Projectiles. I've had two cracked mini windshields in two years, both caused by gravel flying around in traffic. A mini's windshield is low to the ground and there isn't much of an aerodynamic slipstream to deflect force of impact. If you see debris coming off of other vehicles the best thing to do is slow down and let them get far ahead.
How much force is required to break a coconut?
A coconut can be pretty tough to crack open. It takes about 1,400 pounds per square inch to break one open.
How would you find the mass of an object if there were no gravitational force?
Mass is defined as resistance to acceleration, so one could measure how much force is needed to accelerate the object.
Why don't mountains keep building up higher and higher?
A given amount of force can lift a given amount of weight. Mountains are very heavy, and it takes enormous force to lift them. There is only so much force being exerted by the process of plate tectonics.
Does ceramic get harder the more times it is hit?
It will not get harder on hitting it but crack and even tend to break depending on the amount of force applied on it It will not get harder on hitting it but crack and even tend to break depending on the amount of force applied on it
How much force is needed to knock out a bear?
the amount needed is the amount that's taken by the bear
How does moving fulcrum on a lever change the amount of force needed to move an object?
how does moving a fulcrum on a lever change the amount of force needed to move an object
How did the pulley affect the amount of force needed?
A pulley is a force multiplier. (it swaps force for distance).
The amount of needed to make an object change its depends on the of the object and the required?
. The amount of Force needed to make an object change its motion depends on the Mass of the object and the Force required
How do you decrease the amount of force needed to do work?
Decrease friction.
What amount of force is needed to bend a steel fence post?
The amount of force that is needed to bend a steel fence post depends with the steel post in question. The force that is required is therefore calculated based on the material in question.

around 246 newtons of force
What factors effect the amount of force needed to move an object?
The main of force needed tio move an object is the objects mass, f= ma.
How does an incline plane reduce amount of input force needed?
by increasing distance over which the force is applied
