A test car is driving toward a solid crash-test barrier with a speed of 45 mi/h. Two seconds prior to impact, the car begins to brake, but it is still moving when it hits the wall. After the collision with the wall, the car crumples somewhat and comes to a complete stop. In order to estimate the average force exerted by the wall on the car, what information would you need to collect?
a. The (negative) acceleration of the car before it hits the wall and the distance the car travels while braking.
b. The (negative) acceleration of the car before it hits the wall and the velocity of the car just before impact.
c. The velocity of the car just before impact and the duration of the collision with the wall.
d. The duration of the collision with the wall and the distance the car travels while braking.
A 1100 kg car traveling at 27 m/s starts to decelerate and comes to a complete stop in 578.0 m. What is the average braking force acting on the car?
v^2 - u^2 = 2as
I know that what v^2 --velocity
Can you break down the other components, such as the u, and as
Eric is driving his scooter to soccer practice. his speed is 35 mph. splat! A mouth smashes against the windshield and bug "guts" are everywhere. gross! which scenario is true?

b. the bug exerts a greater force on the windshield than the windshield exerts on the bug.
c. the force that the windshield exerts on the bug and the force that the bug exerts on the windshield are the same magnitude.
