It actually fell from a power line but I guess velocity lol

I'm not a physicist but I'm feeling wild this evening. Let's do this....

Assumptions:
- power line height of 4.5 meters
- car windshield height of 1.4 meters
- goose weight of 6.5 kg
- the goose caused a 5cm deep indentation into the windshield

We will calculate a couple things:
- speed upon impact
- force of impact upon windshield

V = sqrt(2*g*h)
Where:
V = velocity at impact
g = acceleration (in this case gravity)
h = distance (in this case height)

So... v = sqrt(2*9.8*3.1) = 7.795 m/s = 17.4 mph

Next...

F = (m*g*h)/d
Where:
F = force
M = mass
G = gravity
H = height
D = distance (in this case the distance the goose moved the windshield as a result of the impact)

So... F = (6.5*9.8*3.1)/0.05 = 3,949 N = 887 lbs

Upon further research, the average force required to break a car windshield is 9,400 psi.

So what's the lesson here? Absolutely nothing.

I'm going to suggest that the goose was hit by the moving vehicle for two reasons, I've never seen a goose sitting on hydro wires or in a tree for that matter and two I've seen a goose go through a car windshield before.

The internet description said it hit a live wire and plummeted to the ground. Or rather, windshield.

Bird would need to grounded somehow so don’t see how a flying goose could be electrocuted…. Not to mention the associated,burns. Unless the bird broke its neck and fell. Might need another drink to consider this!

We will use the Impulse/Momentum Theorem. F
⋅∆𝑡=𝑚(𝑣𝑓−𝑣&#119894


t
=
m
(
v
f

v
i
)
Let us assume that the bird is traveling head on to the car at a speed of +12m/s=Vi.
Let us assume the bird has a mass m=0.5kg
Lets us assume the bird after impact(the impulse) is now traveling (at least for a moment) -28m/s(-60mph)=Vf. In the opposite direction it was going.
Let us assume that the time during impulse is ∆t=0.010s.
Then the average force is F=0.5kg(-28m/s-12m/s)/(0.01s)=2,000Newtons.
Most birds that would hit a windshield would be less than .5kg.
Most impacts would not result in an opposite velocity vector i.e it would bounce off the windshield at an oblique angle.
If the last two sentences applied the force would be less.
If the time of impulse is less or the initial velocity of the bird is greater then the force increases.
2,000 N distributed over an area of impact of say 100cm

2

would result in 20N per sq. cm. about two kilograms of weight pressing on every sq. cm of glass. I do not believe that is enough to shatter the windshield. However, I do believe that the numbers I assumed are not unreasonable for the typical bird that might hit a car. The number that is highly suspect is my impact time, it could be less than that.
The poster can play with a greater mass or a greater initial velocity or a lesser time to increase the average force. Remember, this is just the average force there is actually a greater peak force occurring at the mid-time of impact. That is harder to determine without more measurements. Assume the peak force is 4000 N.
What I could find on the pressure to break a windshield was anywhere from 4000–16000 N/cm^2 and that depends on how long the pressure is applied to the glass.
Under the conditions I assumed I do not believe the windshield would shatter.
You would need a bigger and faster bird to get a shattered windshield.

That goose is likely a lot more than .5KG.

From Wiki:

The male Canada goose usually weighs 2.6–6.5 kg (5.7–14.3 lb), averaging amongst all subspecies 3.9 kg (8.6 lb). The female looks virtually identical, but is slightly lighter at 2.4–5.5 kg (5.3–12.1 lb), averaging amongst all subspecies 3.6 kg (7.9 lb), and generally 10% smaller in linear dimensions than the male counterparts
