The front 1.20 m of a 1,350-kg car is designed as a "crumple zone" that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision. (a) If a car traveling 21.0 m/s stops uniformly in 1.20 m, how long does the collision last? (b) What is the magnitude of the average force on the car? (c) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car? Express the acceleration as a multiple of the acceleration of gravity. g

Upon arriving at work, Michael immediately kicks off a particularlyunfortunate day by hitting an employee with his 1200-kg car and breakingher 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 ofdeceleration during the collision, how fast was he traveling in the parkinglot when he collided with his employee (let’s call her Meredith)? Assume allthe force of deceleration of his car was exerted on the Meredith’s pelvis,with none being exerted on brakes or opposed by friction (admittedlyunrealistic).
