A) Professional Application A car moving at 12.4 m/s crashes into a tree and stops in 0.327 s. Calculate the force the seat belt exerts on a passenger in the car to bring him to a halt. The mass of the passenger is 79 kg. B) Professional Application Consider the following question: A car moving at 10 m/s crashes into a tree and stops in 0.26 s. Calculate the force the seatbelt exerts on a passenger in the car to bring him to a halt. The mass of the passenger is 70 kg. Would the answer to this question be different if the car with the 70-kg passenger had collided with a car that has a mass equal to and is traveling in the opposite direction and at the same speed? A. Yes, the answer would be the same. B. The crash into another car would exert more force on the passenger. C. The crash into a tree would exert more force onto the passenger. D. There is not enough information to answer this
