A typical car weighs about 1000 kg. An average person can push with a force that is about half the force of gravity on her body, say about 500 N. a. How long would it take for the car to reach walking speed of about 1.5 m/s from an initial speed of zero? b. How far has the car moved when it reaches that velocity?
