Homework Statement


can someone tell me how to go about this question please;
we are trying to get the force of impact if a man hit the bonnet that is stagnant(the car is not moving) the man is in front of the car and also the pulling force if he tries to forcefully pull the door handel;
Data given are;
Man = 105 kg
Car = 1318 kk
Gravity = 9.8(normal)
hieght of man = 192m
Hieght of car= not really specified just the car is a vw golf so i guess it should be about 1.2 m



Homework Equations



F=G*M1*M2/distance



The Attempt at a Solution



in this case what distance should be used, what effects will be visible?:cry:
