Question
A 57.0 kg person is riding in a car moving at 19.0 m/s when the car runs into a bridge abutment. (Assume the initial velocity is in the positive direction.)
(a)
Calculate the average force (in N) on the person if he is stopped by a padded dashboard that compresses an average of 1.00 cm. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
  N
(b)
Calculate the average force (in N) on the person if he is stopped by an air bag that compresses an average of 15.0 cm. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

An object is traveling such that it has a momentum of magnitude 25.6 kg · m/s and a kinetic energy of 221 J. Determine the following.
(a)
speed of the object in meters per second
 
Expressions for both the kinetic energy and momentum of an object involve mass and speed. See if you can start with expressions for the kinetic energy and momentum, eliminate the mass, and determine an expression in terms of the kinetic energy and momentum that will allow you to determine the speed. m/s
(b)
mass of the object in kilograms
