Question
Consider a car crash in which the vehicle travels at 13 m/s (roughly
30 mph) just before the collision. Research indicates that the passenger typically
experiences an acceleration of 30 g's during such a crash if their seatbelt is
fastened. Suppose this implies a peak force of Fmax = 21,000 N as shown in the
graph. The passenger's mass is given.

A) What is the duration of the collision, At?
B) Calculate the passenger's kinetic energy before impact. What is the kinetic
energy of this same passenger when jogging at a modest speed of 5 m/s?
