The FOZ wrote:Force equals Mass times acceleration, you are correct.
However, acceleration is measured in distance/second^2.
So to accurately gauge the impact force, you'd have to determine the rate at which the part would decelerate from it's free flying speed.
At any rate, the kinetic energy the part would have had whilst flying through the air would have been significant, particularly if, say, you were another car, or driver.

but surely F=MA
f= 300g x 320 kmh
pretty heavy to hit you in the head i would guess
I dont actually know if thats even the right equation and fully expect some of you educated chaps to tell me the various forces that this part could have from the slowest speed on the track to the highest
ty ty
I doubt you would even notice it hitting your helmet other than the clunk it made.
I bet the things weighs no more than a few empty pop cans
