A car moving with a speed of 36 km/hr sees a child standing in the middle of the road. The driver of the car applies brakes and brings the
car to rest in 5 sec, just in time to save the child. Calculate the average
stopping force of the vehicle, if the mass of vehicle and the driver is
300 kg

explanation:

vestigial organs (like your appendix) are organs that no longer serve a purpose.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
