A group of engineers is testing collision safety for a new car. They are finding the impulse on the car and the resulting forces applied to the car during the collision. Situation A - The 1400 kg car traveling at 15.6 m/s (about 35 mph) crashes into a wall and comes to a stop in about 0.1 s. What is the impulse on the car? 2.What is the average force exerted on the car during the time of impact?
