Option C. 5,000 kg m/s
Explanation:
<u>Linear Momentum on a System of Particles </u>
Is defined as the sum of the momenta of each particles in a determined moment. The individual momentum is the product of the mass of the particle by its speed
P=mv
The question refers to an 100 kg object traveling at 50 m/s who collides with another object of 50 kg object initially at rest. We compute the moments of each object
The sum of the momenta of both objects prior to the collision is
(a) 328.6 kg m/s
The linear impulse experienced by the passenger in the car is equal to the change in momentum of the passenger:
where
m = 62.0 kg is the mass of the passenger
is the change in velocity of the car (and the passenger), which is
So, the linear impulse experienced by the passenger is
(b) 404.7 N
The linear impulse experienced by the passenger is also equal to the product between the average force and the time interval:
where in this case
is the linear impulse
is the time during which the force is applied
Solving the equation for F, we find the magnitude of the average force experienced by the passenger:
