If my mass is 196 lbm and i tackle one of my teammates - while decelerating from a velocity of 6.7 m/s to 0 m/s in 0.5 s, how much force (kn) do i impart to the teammate's body?

the force acting on the team mate is 1.19 kN.

Explanation:

given,

mass = 196 lbm

while tackling, the deceleration is from velocity 6.7 m/s to 0 m/s

time taken for deceleration = 0.5 sec        

F = mass × acceleration

acceleration =              

                     = -13.4 m/s²                            

1 lbs  = 0.453 kg                      

196 lbs = 196 × 0.453  = 88.79 kg

F = 88.79 × 13.4                              

F = 1189.786 N = 1.19 kN                      

hence, the force acting on the team mate is 1.19 kN.
