(N/A) Newton's second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of the force.
Mathematically,this is expressed as:
$F = \frac{dp}{dt}$
Where:
$F$ is the net force acting on the object.
$p$ is the linear momentum of the object.
$t$ is time.
For a body of constant mass $m$ moving with acceleration $a$,this simplifies to:
$F = ma$

The driver of a three-wheeler moving with a speed of $36\; km/h$ sees a child standing in the middle of the road and brings his vehicle to rest in $4.0\; s$ just in time to save the child. What is the average retarding force (in $N$) on the vehicle? The mass of the three-wheeler is $400\; kg$ and the mass of the driver is $65\; kg$.
