Question

during a crash a dummy with the mass of 60.0 kg hits a airbag that exerts a constant force in the dummy the acceleration of the dummy is 250 m/2 what force did the airbag exert on the dummy?

Answer 1

Explanation:

F = ma

F = (60.0 kg) (250 m/s²)

F = 15,000 N

Answer 2

Answer:

B. –15.0 kN

Explanation:

Explanation: Newton’s second law states that force is equal to mass times acceleration: F = ma. If the mass of the dummy is 60.0 kg and the acceleration is –250 m/s2, the force is 60.0 kg · (–250 m/s2) = –15,000 N, or 15.0 kN. (Recall that 1 kN = 1,000 N.)
