Question
Melissa was putting on her makeup when she accidentally ran into a stopped car at a red light, 11.01 m in front of her. Melissa’s 1,219 kg car was moving at 8.133 m/s and came to a complete stop in 0.3994 seconds. What is the magnitude of the force that stopped Melissa’s car?

When the light goes green, she puts her foot on the accelerator, causing the engine to generate a varying driving force F(t) =430t + 860 t2 (with t in seconds, F in Newtons). It takes 3.00 seconds for the car to cross the intersection. The mass of the car (including passengers) is 700 kg.
