Answer
given,
Mass of Kara's car = 1300 Kg
moving with speed = 11 m/s
time taken to stop = 0.14 s
final velocity = 0 m/s
distance between Lisa ford and Kara's car = 30 m
a) change in momentum of Kara's car
Δ P = m Δ v
Δ P = - 1.43 x 10⁴ kg.m/s
b) impulse is equal to change in momentum of the car
I = - 1.43 x 10⁴ kg.m/s
c) magnitude of force experienced by Kara
I = F x t
I is impulse acting on the car
t is time
- 1.43 x 10⁴= F x 0.14
F = -1.021 x 10⁵ N
negative sign represents the direction of force
