Hail bounces off the roof of the car with a velocity of +15 m/s. Ignoring the weight of the hailstones, what is the force exerted by the hail on the roof.
Purchase this Solution
Solution Summary
A detailed solution is given.
Solution Preview
Let's assume that the hailstones reflect off the roof elastically, so that the change in vertical velocity is 30 meters/second. Suppose that during the hailstorm the mass flux of the hail is J.
J is the mass per square meter per second that is raining down. If the ...
