6 At a fairground a dodgem car is moving in a straight horizontal line towards a side wall that is perpendicular to the velocity of the car.
The speed of the car is \(1.8 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\)
It collides with the side wall and rebounds along its original path with a speed of \(1.2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\)
The total mass of the dodgem car and the passengers is 250 kg
6
- Find the magnitude of the impulse on the car during the collision with the side wall.
6 - A possible model for the magnitude of the force, \(F\) newtons, acting on the dodgem car due to its collision with the side wall is given by
$$F = k t ( 4 - 5 t ) \quad \text { for } 0 \leq t \leq 0.8$$
6
- Find the value of \(k\).
- (ii) Determine the maximum magnitude of the force predicted by the model.
