Question

Upon arriving at work, Michael immediately kicks off a particularly
unfortunate day by hitting an employee with his 1200-kg car and breaking
her pelvis. If it takes roughly 4,000 N to crack the average human pelvis,
and Michael’s car came to a complete stop after 0.3 seconds of
deceleration during the collision, how fast was he traveling in the parking
lot when he collided with his employee (let’s call her Meredith)? Assume all
the force of deceleration of his car was exerted on the Meredith’s pelvis,
with none being exerted on brakes or opposed by friction (admittedly
unrealistic).
