Based on a grade 11 physics student, answer the following question: Mr.T was riding the OCTranspo bus to night school to make it to his ‘Patternmaking for Dog garments’ class on time. Unfortunately the bus was so packed that he had to stand. He ‘barked’ at the driver to “step on it” so the driver was driving at 61 km/h down the highway. Then a little while later, the driver has to make a very sudden stop (a squirrel has run out in front of the bus) and Mr.T fell forward down the aisle into another teacher wearing an oversized puffy parka, which brings Mr.T to a rest in 0.95s (Thank goodness for down-filled parkas!). The mass of Mr.T (and his backpack) was 114kg. a. What was Mr.T’s acceleration during his collision with the fluffy parka? b. How much force did the parka exert on Mr.T and his backpack? c. How far into the parka did Mr.T go before he stopped? d. What work did the oversized parka do on Mr.T to stop him?
