Consider the following question: A car moving at 10 m/s crashes into a tree and stops in 0.26 s. Calculate the force the seatbelt exerts on a passenger in the car to bring him to a halt. The mass of the passenger is 70 kg. Would the answer to this question be different if the car with the 70-kg passenger had collided with a car that has a mass equal to and is traveling in the opposite direction and at the same speed? Explain your answer.

If a braking force of 600,000 N/m is needed to bring the car to a stop, what was the duration of the force?arrow_forward
- A 2000 kg car is slowed down uniformly from 20.0 m/s to 5.00 m/s in 4.00 s. (a) Calculate acceleration of the car. (b) What average force acted on the car during this time? (c) How far did the car travel during this time?arrow_forwardAccident analysis has led experts to believe that Princess Diana experienced a deceleration rate of no less than 700 m/s2 when she was involved in the tragic accident that claimed her life. If she had been wearing a seatbelt experts believe the net force Diana would have experienced would be along the lines of 18,000 N. What would be the rate of deacceleration have been? Assuming Diana had a mass of 60kg.arrow_forwardNewton's second law states that force equals mass times acceleration. For a 10-gram weight, force given an acceleration of x meters per second can be modeled by the equation y = 10x .The relationship is a/an with a constant of variation ofarrow_forward
