In an automobile collision, a 44-kilogram passenger moving at 15 meters per second is brought to rest by an air bag during a 0.1
const2013 [10]

Answer:

6,600N

Explanation:

According to second law of motion, Force = mass × acceleration

If acceleration = change in velocity/time = 15/0.10

Acceleration = 150m/s²

Given mass = 44kg

Force = 44× 150

Force = 6,600N

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the passenger during this time is 6,600N

Convert the mass to kgs thanks
Natali [406]
Memorize this and you'll be able to do ALL of these:  <em>1  kg = 1,000 g</em>

So if you have some grams, divide the number by 1,000 to get kilograms.

1,000 g = 1.000 kg

500 g = 0.500 kg

100 g = 0.100 kg

50 g = 0.050 kg

20 g = 0.020 kg

10 g = 0.010 kg
