Answer:
23.96 N
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass of Chihuahua (m) = 3.63 kg
Velocity (v) = 3.3m/s
Time (t) = 0.50 s
Force (F) =?
Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the Chihuahua. This can be obtained as follow:
Velocity (v) = 3.3m/s
Time (t) = 0.50 s
Acceleration (a) =?
a = v/t
a = 3.3/0.5
a = 6.6 m/s²
Thus, the acceleration of the Chihuahua is 6.6 m/s².
Finally, we shall determine the force need to stop the Chihuahua as shown below:
Mass of Chihuahua (m) = 3.63 kg
Acceleration (a) = 6.6 m/s².
Force (F) =?
F = ma
F = 3.63 × 6.6
F = 23.96 N
Therefore, a force of 23.96 N is needed to stop the Chihuahua.
This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.
Chemical energy (calories) is converted by your body walking on the surface into mechanical/kinetic energy

The total amount of energy doesn't change. Energy is never created,
and it never disappears. If you have some energy, then it had to come
from somewhere, and if you used some energy, then it had to go
somewhere.
You can never get more energy out of the electromotor than you put into it,
and in the real world, you can't even get THAT much out, because some
of it is always used on the way through.
Pour yourself a cold glass of soda, then look up "Perpetual Motion" or
"Free Energy" on the internet, relax, and enjoy the show. They are all
fakes. They may not all be intentionally meant to fool you, but they are
all impossible.
This is false. There were many times in history when people discovered something that they didn't even know was possible or didn't even plan to discover it. Knowing tradeoffs doesn't mean that something won't surprise you or that all will go according to plan.
