Question

 The rocket sled shown in the figure decelerates at a rate of 155 m/s2 . Its passenger has a mass of 75 kg. Use a coordinate system in which the sled is moving in the positive direction, and assume the contact forces with the seat are the only forces acting on the passenger.

Randomized Variablesa = 155 m/s2
m = 75 kg


Calculate the horizontal component of the force that the seat exerts against his body, in newtons.
