Paleontologists estimate that if a Tyrannosaurus rex had tripped and fallen, the ground would have exerted anormal force of approximately 260,000 N on its torso as it landed.Assuming the torso has a mass of 3800 kg, (a) find the magnitudeof the torso’s upward acceleration as it comes to rest. (For comparison, humans lose consciousness with an acceleration of about 7g.)(b) Assuming the torso of a T. rex is in free fall for a distance of 1.46m as it falls to the ground, how much time is required for the torsoto come to rest once it contacts the ground?

Newton's Second Law

Newton’s laws of motion describe the relationship between the motion of an object and forces acting on it. Newton’s law of motion has two types as follows:
