Complete the lab procedure as directed by this document. As you complete the procedure, you may type data/answers directly into this Word Document. When you complete the lab and answer the questions at the end, you may submit the copy of this document with your data/answers to the Canvas assignment as a PDF or Word Document.

Objective

Using your understanding of collisions and impulse, you will design an improved version of a car bumper to increase the safety of a car.

Procedure

  1. Do some quick research about how car bumpers work. In your research try to understand why specific design and material choices are made with physics concepts like impulse in mind. You will be using this research in the following step to design a bumper of your own.
  2. Using one of the methods described below, creat a new design for a car bumper that changes how the force may be applied to a car during a collision. Your score on this lab will not change based on the method you chose, but rather how you applied physics concepts to your design and how you respond to the questions below.

Method 1 - Sketch

Sketch a simple drawing of the bumper only. Your design should highlight the specific features and even include a few short notes that describe what these features are.

Submit pictures or a scan of your sketch/sketches in the space at the end of this document.

Question(s)

  1. How does a car bumper leverage the concept of impulse to improve the safety of a car?
  2. What specific elements in your design did you choose to change the impulse?
  3. In a car bumper, do you want the force to be distributed over a shorter or longer period of time during a collision? Why?

Design Submission

In the space below, submit a picture or screenshot of your bumper design.
