The automobile has a weight 3.158-lb and travels forward at 8ft/s when it crashes into the wall and stops. The impact occurs in 0.04 s. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels and the pavement is 0.42, and the brakes are applied, what is then the average impulsive force?

Question
Expanded.3 deals with the conservation of momentum principle. Using the conservation of momentum principle to solve this problem is mandatory. Solution using other approaches will be automatically considered false.
For the problem related to Expanded.3, sketches of the system showing:
• the respective initial and final velocity and position coordinates and the frame of reference considered
• the forces acting on the system of considered, in other words, a free body diagram (FBD)
are mandatory. Their absences will automatically make the problem false.
