A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 6.48-km/h (1.8-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force on a bumper that collapses 0.180 m while bringing a 940-kg car to rest from an initial speed of 1.8 m/s.

A car's bumper is designed to withstand a 6.84-km/h (1.9-m/s) collision with avable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force on a bumper that collapses 0.165 m while bringing a 950-kg car to rest from an initial speed of 1.9 m/s
2. Suppose a car travels 108 km at a speed of 20.0 m/s, and uses 2.20 gallons of gasoline. Only 30% of the gasoline goes into useful work by the force that keeps the car moving at constant speed despite friction. (The energy content of gasoline is 1.3 ✕ 108 J per gallon.) (a) What is the force exerted to keep the car moving at constant speed? N (b) If the required force is directly proportional to speed, how many...
The front 1.20 m of a 1,500-kg car is designed as a "crumple zone" that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision. (a) If a car traveling 27.0 m/s stops uniformly in 1.20 m, how long does the collision last? s (b) What is the magnitude of the average force on the car? N (c) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car? Express the acceleration as a multiple of the acceleration of gravity. g
