A driver encounters an impulse of 2000 N●s when they have a collision with another car. Thankfully the airbag deploys and the driver strikes the airbag for .75 seconds. What is the force that the driver experiences in the accident?
To find the force that the driver experiences in the accident, we can use the formula:
Force = Impulse / Time
Given:
Impulse = 2000 N·s
Time = 0.75 s
Plugging the values into the formula:
Force = 2000 N·s / 0.75 s
Force = 2666.67 N
Therefore, the force that the driver experiences in the accident is approximately 2666.67 N.
