Report requested from Chairperson Jenny Shattock Community and Assets Committee on speed bumps.
Ted Anderson said "sometimes speed bumps do not have desired results"
This outcome is amplified by increased speed.
The faster a car hits the speed bumps the more 1/2 Mass * Velocity * Velocity
A 0.25m elevation of a one tonne car imparts energy into the car springs in the following way.
O.25 * 1000 kg * 0 * 0 = 0
O.25m * 1000 kg * 1 m/s * 1 m/s = 250 m*kg/s*2
O.25m * 1000 kg * 2 m/s * 2 m/s = 1000 m*kg/s*2
O.25m * 1000 kg * 4 m/s * 4 m/s = 4,000 m*kg/s*2
O.25m * 1000 kg * 16 m/s * 16 m/s = 64,000m*kg/s*2
