11. Momentum & Impulse / Collisions & Motion (Momentum & Energy) / Problem 1

The impact resistance of new motorcycle helmets is tested by striking them against rigid barriers at a speed of 20 m/s. A prototype helmet, weighing 2 kg, comes to a complete stop in 0.2 seconds upon impact. Determine the average force exerted on the helmet by the barrier during the collision.
