On a head-on vehicular collision where both drivers are not wearing seatbelt and have no available airbags, Person A with a mass of 65 kg and Person B with a mass of 73 kg both hit their cars' steering wheel in 0.15 seconds. How much net force is experienced by each person if: (a) Person A decelerates from 5.56 m/s to 0 m/s? (b) Person B decelerates from 11.5 m/s to 0 m/s?

1. According to www.portfolio.mvm.ed.ac.uk, experiments on cadavers have shown that a force of 73 Newtons is enough to cause a simple fracture to the skull and about 2300 Newtons to crush the entire skull. On a head-on vehicular collision where both drivers are not wearing seatbelt and have no available airbags, Person A with a mass of 65 kg and Person B with a mass of 73 kg both hit their cars' steering wheel in 0.15 seconds.
