- EXPLANATION MUST BE TYPED - ALL WORK MUST BE TYPED Driving home from school one day, you spot a ball rolling out into the street. You brake for 1.20 s, slowing your 950-kg car from 16.0 m/s to 9.50 m/s. (a) What was the average force exerted on your car during braking? (b) How far did you travel while braking?arrow_forwardA set of crash tests consists of running a test car moving at a speed of 12.4 m/s (27.7 mi/hr) into a solid wall. Strapped securely in an advanced seat belt system, a 71.0 kg (157 lbs) dummy is found to move a distance of 0.810 m from the moment the car touches the wall to the time the car is stopped. A) Calculate the size of the average force which acts on the dummy during that time. B) Using the direction of motion as the positive direction, calculate the average acceleration of the dummy during that time (in g's, with 1g = 9.81m/s2).

What is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the student by the trampoline? **Assume the trampoline uniformly accelerates the student to a stop.
