A 925-kg pickup decelerates to rest from a speed of 75 km/h in a distance of 140 m. Consider that the pickup is initially moving in the positive direction. Suppose instead of braking that the pickup hits a concrete abutment at frill speed and is brought to a stop in 2.00 m. Calculate the force, in newtons, exerted on the pickup in this case.
