3. 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. How much force did the seatbelt put on Sarah?

I think this was fit more in Physics, but the force is about 2200 newtons.
