Answer: 75.02 m
Explanation:
u = 0 ( starts from rest )
v = 50 m/s
t = 3 s
( i ) a = v - u / t
= 50 - 0 /3
= 16.67
( ii ) s = ut + 1/2 at²
= 0 × 3 + 1/2 × 16.67 × 3 × 3
= <u>75.02 m</u>

Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:
KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J
Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:
F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N
