Sony’s Crash Test O.O
Lets say a person working in Sony Australia got bored, and then an idea suddenly pops up in his head! He thought “Hey, what happens when a PS3 Slim gets catapulted into a BRAVIA LCD TV?? Lets find out!”
As you can see, it seemed that the PS3 Slim is the winner! It remained rather intact despite the heavy impact, whereas the BRAVIA TV’s screen was shattered around the impact area. Here are some interesting about the crash test, posted in the video info:
- PS3 Trajectory: Parabolic
- Impact Speed: 80km/hr = 22m/sec
- Mass of PS3: 3.2kg
- Kinetic energy of PS3 at point of impact: 774.4 joules
- PS3 deceleration: 246.9g = 2420 m/sec squared
- Force of PS3 on BRAVIA TV screen: 7744.0 newtons = 790.2kg force
- Sled deceleration: 40.0g = 392m/sec squared
- Force on sled: 470400.0newtons, 48000kg force = 48 tonnes force
- One 25kg metal bar stops the sled at the end of the track. A new bar is needed for every test
- Track speed: 80km
- Launch angle: 5 degrees
- Sled weight: 1.2 tonnes
- Track length: 60 metres, speed reaches 80km at 1 metre before impact
- Length PS3 travels when released: 3.19metres
- BRAVIA TV is mounted 2 metres from wall
Now, can a person who understand physics, please translate this for me =x.
After I write my exam, I’ll see what I can do.

LOL. GNdynames to the rescue.

Anyway, all of that looks rather basic. What do you need explaining? (I can tell you where the values came from if you want, within some margin of error because real life launches have too many variables to account for)
