3. Automobile companies often test the safety of cars by putting them through crash tests to observe the integrity of the passenger compartment. If 1100kg car is sent toward a cement wall with a speed of15 m/s, an impact force of 185,000 N stops the car, how long does it take before the car is brought to a stop?​

Time taken for car to stop = 0.89 seconds (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of car = 1100 kg

Speed of car = 15 m/s

Impact force = 185,000 N

Find:

Time taken for car to stop

Computation:

Change in momentum of car = M(v) - M(u)

Change in momentum of car = 1100(0) - 1100(15)

Change in momentum of car = -16,500

Time taken for car to stop = I Change in momentum of car I / Impact force

Time taken for car to stop = I-16,500I / 185,000

Time taken for car to stop = 0.89 seconds (Approx.)

the force represented by vector a is normal force. if the hockey puck is moving to the right, when it is hit with a significant force by the hockey stick the puck will move off in a different direction. correct on edge.
