Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 73GP
A person who is properly restrained by an over-the- shoulder seat belt has a good chance of surviving a car collision if the deceleration does not exceed 30 “g’s” (1.00 g = 9.80 m/s2). Assuming uniform deceleration of this value, calculate the distance over which the front end of the car must be designed to collapse if a crash brings the car to rest from 100 km/h.

A bus is traveling with a uniform velocity of 20 m/s. At the instant it passes a car at rest, the car starts to accelerate at 4 m/s² in the same direction as the velocity of the bus. (a) After how many seconds will the car overtake the bus? (b) How far will the car travel before overtaking the bus?
An initially motionless test car is accelerated uniformly to 135 km/hr in 8.08 seconds before striking a simulated deer. The car is in contact with the faux fawn for seconds, after which the car is measured to be traveling at 87.5 km/hr.
What is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car during the collision?
A woodpecker's brain is specially protected from large accelerations by tendon-like attachments inside
the skull. While pecking on a tree, the woodpecker's head comes to a stop from an initial velocity of
0.600 m/s in a distance of only 2.00 mm. Find the acceleration in meters per second squared and in
multiples of g, where g = 9.80 m/s².
