Amplify Force & Motion Engineering Internship

Front

What is air resistance and how does it affect motion?

Back

Air resistance is a force that opposes the motion of an object through the air, acting in the opposite direction of the object's velocity, which reduces its speed.

Front

What factors can reduce the impact force during a collision?

Back

Factors that can reduce impact force include lower velocity and longer collision time.

What is the relationship between mass and impact force during a collision?

Back

Greater mass results in a greater impact force during a collision, as force is directly proportional to mass.

What is the significance of collision time in reducing impact force?

Back

Increasing the collision time allows the force to be distributed over a longer period, reducing the peak impact force experienced.

What design criteria should be avoided when designing a Supply Pod for safety?

Back

Maximizing drop speed should be avoided as it increases the impact force during landing.

How does velocity affect the impact force in a collision?

Back

Higher velocity increases the impact force during a collision, as force is proportional to the change in momentum, which is affected by velocity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force during a collision?

Back

Force can be calculated using the formula F = m * a, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration (change in velocity over time).

Front

What role does momentum play in collisions?

Back

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity; during a collision, momentum is transferred between objects, affecting the forces involved.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of momentum?

Back

The principle of conservation of momentum states that in a closed system, the total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.

How can engineers design systems to minimize impact forces?

Back

Engineers can design systems with features like crumple zones, airbags, and longer collision times to minimize impact forces.
