The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.
Explanation:
Given:
mass of the dummy (m) = 71 kg
velocity of the dummy (v) = 24 m/s
time (t) = 10 seconds
To solve:
Average force exerted (F)
We know;
To calculate the average force;
According to the formula;
F = (m × v) ÷ t
Where;
F represents the force exerted
m represents the mass of the dummy
v represents the velocity
t represents the time
F =
F =
F =
F = 170.4 N
Therefore the force exerted by the seat belt on the dummy is 170.4 N
