Question

What is the impulse acting on a person in a car crash if the person has a mass of 50kg, the car was traveling at 25 m/s (55mph), and the crash takes 0.05s for the person to come to a stop? (you need to calculate acceleration-> force-> momentum)

Answer 1

Answer:- The acceleration experienced by the person is -500 m/s^2.

- The force acting on the person is -25,000 N.

- The initial momentum of the person is 1,250 kg*m/s.
