Answer:

Force exerted on the car is 7030 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 740 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 19 m/s

Final speed of the car, v = 0

Time taken, t = 2 s

Let F is the force exerted on the car during this stop. We know that it is equal to the product of force and acceleration. Mathematically, it is given as :

F=m\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}F=m×tv−u

F=740\times \dfrac{0-19}{2}F=740×20−19

F = -7030 N

So, the force exerted on the car during this stop is 7030 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
