A 300 lb car travelling with a speed of 30 mph, strikes an obstruction and is brought to rest in 0.10 sec. What is the average force on the car? The correct answer is 41,000 lbs

A toddler pushes a play shopping cart around her room. Her mass is 14 kg, the cart is 5 kg and the items in the cart is 5kg. The toddler exerts a backward force on the floor of 60 N. Calculate the force the toddler exerts on the cart. All forces opposing the motion, such as the friction of the cart's wheels and air resistance, total 9 N.

What is the mass of an object if a force of 12 Newtons gives it an acceleration of 4 m/s2 ?
