Question

during a crash, the acceleration was less than 30g. Calculate the force on a 70 kg person accelerating at this rate.

Answer 1

Answer:

less than 20580 N

Explanation:

According to the newton's second law of motion

Force = mass * acceleration

(assuming gravitational acceleration =9.8 m/s2 )

acceleration = 30*9.8 = 294 m/s2

acting Force = 70 * 294

                     = 20580 N

Since the acceleration was less than 30g  , acting force should also be less than 20580 N
