(a) Calculate the force (in N) needed to bring a 1054 kg car to rest from a speed of 87.8 km/h in a distance of 100 m (a fairly typical distance for a non-panic stop). N (b) Suppose instead the car hits a concrete abutment at full speed and is brought to a stop in 2.00 m. Calculate the force exerted on the car. N (c) Find the ratio of the force you found in part(b) to the one you found from part (a). (i.e., F(b)/F(a))
