sarah, who has a mass of 55 kg, is riding in a car at 20 m/s. she sees a cat crossing the street and slams on the brakes! her seatbelt stops her from flying forward, bringing her to rest in 0.5 seconds. how much force did the seatbelt put on sarah?

F = (mass)(acceleration) = ma

m = 55 kg

Vi = 20 m/s

t = 0.5 s

Vf = 0 m/s (since she was put to rest)

a=(Vf-Vi)/t

a=(0-20)/5

a = 40 m/s^2 (decelerating)

F = ma = (55 kg)(40 m/s^2)

F = 2200 N

take a better picture and ill do it

explanation:

yes the other ones are right just show me a pic of ur face cuz u look hot
