1- The roller coaster car has a brake and return system that has characteristics of a spring with a constant 45 Ibs / ft. If the car has an initial velocity of 3 ft/ s, determine the total force that the brake and return system must store. Assume that there is no friction, that the travel on the flat (from D to the spring) is 350 feet, and that the test weight of the car with passengers is 1000 Ibs. What does the sign of the answer mean?

: Tom is interviewing for a new job – a test driver. He was asked to determine whether a vehicle built to test the effects of Problem 1 high accelerations on people is safe. The car moving at a speed of 20 m/s runs into a piston that compresses the air in a cylinder and stops the car in 0.30 m. The 70-kg passenger stops in the same distance due to the force of shoulder straps and seat belts on her body. Draw free-body diagram for the passenger when he is slowing down to a stop inside a car. Assume that the force of the shoulder straps and seat belt is horizontal. Do not forget to draw acceleration vector as well. Choosing the passenger as your system and applying energy conservation law, find the work that the force of shoulder straps b. and seat belts did on his body in this process. C. Now that you have determined the work in the previous part, determine the magnitude of the average force of these restraints on the person during the stop.
