Question

A car with a momentum (impulse) of 20,000 kg m/s collides with a wall and comes to a rest in 0.1 seconds. How much
force is absorbed by the car (and the driver)?

Answer 1

Answer:

» Force is 200,000 Newtons

Explanation:

${ \tt{force = \frac{impulse}{time} }} \\ \\ { \tt{force = \frac{20000}{0.1} }} \\ \\ { \tt{force = 200000 \: newtons}}$
