A car in an accident experiences an impulse of 34,000 Ns. If the accident took .35 seconds to complete how much force was acting during the accident?
To determine the force acting during the accident, you can use the equation:
Force (F) = Impulse (J) / Time (Δt)
In this case, the impulse is given as 34,000 Ns and the time is given as 0.35 seconds. Plugging those values into the equation, we can calculate the force:
F = 34,000 Ns / 0.35 s
Performing the calculation:
F = 97,142.857 N
Therefore, the force acting during the accident is approximately 97,142.857 N.
