QA51

A51 Amotor car collides with a crash barrier when
travelling at 100 kmh¯' and is brought to rest
in 0.1 s. Ifthe mass of the car and its occupants
is 900 kg calculate the average force on the car
by a consideration of momentum.
Because of the seat belt, the movement of the
driver, whose mass is 80 kg, is restricted to
0.20 m, relative to the car. By a consideration
of energy calculate the average force exerted
by the belt on the driver.
