One day, you are driving your car down the highway, and you notice that you are driving well over the speed limit. You apply the brakes of the carapplying a variable stopping force, until the car slows down to a rea sonable speed of 22.4 m/s (50 mph)A computer plots the force versus time for the vehicle and then measures the area under the curve. It is found that the area is - 18.950N . The total breaking time was 5.4 s. Given that the combined mass of you and your car 1sm = 1200 kg how fast were you moving before applying the breaks? What is the average force applied by the road to the car during breaking? (Note: 1Ns=1kg* m/s)
