Suppose you want to design an air – bag system that can protect the driver in a head on collision at a speed of 100 kph. Estimate how fast the air bag must inflate to effectively protect the driver. Assume the car crumples upon impact over a distance of about 1m. How does the use of the seat belt help the driver
