No, the force of impact is not directly proportional to the speed of the car. In a collision, the force of impact is determined by the change in momentum, which is a combination of speed and mass. Doubling the speed does not necessarily mean quadrupling the force of impact.

Does your vehicle traveling at 20 mph the force of the car impacting a surface is two times as great as 10 mph?

No, the force of impact is not directly proportional to velocity. The force of impact is determined by factors such as the mass of the vehicle and the effectiveness of its brakes in stopping it.


At 60mph the force of your car impacting a surface is how many times as great as 30mph?

Double the speed yeilds double the impact force.


How much force does a wall exert on a 2 ton truck going 10mph?

If the wall does not topple or bend or shake(whatever movement), it exerts the same amount of force as the truck exerts on the wall according to Newtonian Laws. So, 10mph=16kmh, 16x2000=32000(newtons).


How can you accelerate when your speed does not?

By changing direction. Acceleration is a change in velocity. Since velocity takes direction into account, while speed does not, an object can having a changing velocity even while its speed remains the same. And while that object is changing its velocity by changing its direction, it is accelerating, regardless of its speed remaining constant. For example, if a car is driving north at constant speed of 20mph, its speed is 20mph, while its velocity is 20mph towards the north. At this point, the car is not accelerating. Now if the car turns a corner to head east while maintaining its speed of 20mph, its velocity is changing from 20mph northward to 20mph north-eastward and finally to 20mph eastward. As it is turning, it is accelerating. However, as soon as it stops turning, the car is no longer accelerating.


What is the outward force from a surface?

The outward force from a surface is called normal force. It is the force exerted by a surface that is perpendicular to the surface and acts to support the weight of an object resting on it.

The normal force is the force that a surface exerts when you move an object over it true or false?

True. The normal force is the force exerted by a surface on an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface. It is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force applied by the object on the surface.


What type of force is directed parallel to the surface?

A force directed parallel to the surface is called a tangential force or a shear force. This type of force acts parallel to the surface of an object, causing it to slide or deform.


Why does pressure force acts perpendicular to the body?

If that force is not perpendicular to the surface, then there is a component of the force that's parallel to the surface. That component would move fluid around, until there were no longer any force parallel to the surface ... and the whole force would again be perpendicular to the surface.
