As part of a safety investigation, two 1200kg cars traveling at 24m/s are crashed into different barriers.

Find the average force exerted on the car that hits a concrete barrier and takes 0.16s to stop.

1 answer

V = Vo + a*t
V = 0
Vo = 24 m/s
t = 0.16 s.
Solve for a.(It will be negative)

F = M*a
