Sarah, who has a mass of 55 kg, is riding in a car at 20 m/s. she sees a cat crossing the street and slams on the brakes! her seatbelt stops her from flying forward, bringing her to rest in 0.5 seconds

F = (mass)(acceleration) = ma

m = 55 kg

Vi = 20 m/s

t = 0.5 s

Vf = 0 m/s (since she was put to rest)

a=(Vf-Vi)/t

a=(0-20)/5

a = 40 m/s^2 (decelerating)

F = ma = (55 kg)(40 m/s^2)

F = 2200 N

(w – 2.5)(w + 2.5)

(–4v – 9)(–4v + 9)
