Problem

A car travelling at 20 m s−120\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} comes to rest uniformly in 4 s4\,\text{s}. (i) Calculate the magnitude of its deceleration. (ii) If a passenger has a mass of 60 kg60\,\text{kg}, determine the approximate force that the seat belt must exert on the passenger to bring him to rest with the car (neglect all other forces).
