A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, increasing its speed from 0 to 5.40 m/s in 0.792 s. What are:______

a. the magnitudes of the linear impulse
b. the average total force experienced by a 70.0-kg passenger in the car during the time the car accelerates?

Answer:

a) 378Ns

b) 477.27N

Explanation:

Impulse is the defined as the product of the applied force and time taken. This is expressed according to the formula

I = Ft = m(v-u)

m is the mass = 70kg

v is the final velocity = 5.4m/s

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

Get the impulse

I = m(v-u)

I = 70(5.4-0)

I = 70(5.4)

I = 378Ns

b) Average total force is expressed as

F = ma (Newton's second law)

F = m(v-u)/t

F = 378/0.792

F = 477.27N

Hence the average total force experienced by a 70.0-kg passenger in the car during the time the car accelerates is 477.27N
