Find the magnitude of the average force on the van

Reference no: EM13668417

The front 1.20 meter of a 1300 kilogram van is designed as a "crumple zone" that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision.

(a) If a van traveling 21.0 m/s stops uniformly in 1.20 meter, estimate how long does the collision last?

(b) Find the magnitude of the average force on the van?
