Jennifer, who has a mass of 40.0 kg, is riding at 25.0 m/s in her red sports car when she must suddenly slam on the brakes to avoid hitting a deer crossing the road. she strikes the seat belt, that brings her body to a stop in 0.400 s. what average force does the seat belt exert on her?

The seat belt exert an average force of 2500 N on Jennifer

Explanation:

Force: Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration/deceleration. The S.I unit of force is Newton (N). Mathematically it is expressed as

Force(F) = Mass(m) × deceleration(d)

F = md Equation 1

But,

Deceleration: Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of velocity.

mathematically it can be represented as,

d = u-v/t (deceleration) Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: u= 25 m/s, v = 0 m/s, t = 0.4 s.

Substituting these values into Equation 2

d = (25-0)0.4

d = 62.5 m/s²

Also given: m = 40.0 kg. and d = 62.5 m/s²

Substituting these values into equation 1,

F  = 40×62.5

F = 2500 N

The seat belt exert an average force of 2500 N on Jennifer

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
