Answer:

the answer is A.) -1 * 10^3[N]

Explanation:

The solution consists of two steps, the first step is using the following kinematic equation:

v=v_{i} +a*t\\where:\\v=final velocity [m/s]\\v_{i}=initial velocity [m/s]\\a=acceleration[m/^2]\\t=time[s]\\

The initial velocity is 10 [m/s], and the final velocity is zero because the car stops in 0.5[s].

Replacing:

0=10+a*(0.5)\\a=-20[m/s^2]

Now in the second part, we need to use the second law of Newton, this law relates the forces with the acceleration of a body.

In the moment when the car stops suddenly the driver will feel the force of the seatbelt acting in the opposite direction of the movement.

F=m*a\\F=50[kg]*(-20[m/s^2])\\units\[kg]*[m/s^2]=[N]\\F=-1000[N] or -1*10^{3} [N]

The minus sign means that the force is acting in the opposite direction of the movement.

What happens when the fuel in a car engine combustion?​
Trava [24]

In a spark ignition engine, the fuel is mixed with air and then inducted into the cylinder during the intake process. After the piston compresses the fuel-air mixture, the spark ignites it, causing combustion. The expansion of the combustion gases pushes the piston during the power stroke.
