Accepted Answer

The net force on the woman while she was stopped by the sand is 28800 N.What is force?Force can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration.To calculate the net force on the woman, we use the formula below.Formula:F = m(v²-u²)/2s........... Equation 1Where:m = Mass of the womanF = Force on the womanv = Final velocityu = Initial velocitys = DistanceFrom the question,Given:m = 80 kgv = 6 m/su = 0 m/ss = 0.05 mSubstitute these values into equation 1F = 80(6²-0²)/(2×0.05)F= 80×36/0.1F = 28800 NHence, the  net force on the woman is 28800 N.Learn more about force here: https://brainly.com/question/25239010#SPJ1
