Answer:
786.6 N
Explanation:
mass of car, m = 912 kg
initial velocity of car, u = 31.5 m/s
final velocity of car, v = 24.6 m/ s
time, t = 8 s
Let a be the acceleration of the car
Use first equation of motion
v = u + a t
24.6 = 31.5 + a x 8
a = - 0.8625 m/s^2
Force, F = mass x acceleration
F = 912 x 0.8625
F = 786.6 N
Thus, the force on the car is 786.6 N.
Complete Question
Suppose you hit a steel nail with a 0.500-kg hammer, initially moving at 15.0 m/s and brought to rest in 2.80 mm. How much is the nail compressed if it is 2.50 mm in diameter and 6.00-cm long.What Average force is excreted on the Nail
Answer:

Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Mass 
Initial Velocity 
Distance 
Diameter 
Length 
Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by



Maybe push or pull an object with a large amount of mass? you are force a (pushing through object) aka making contact. i hope i helped not good with physics :)
