Chapter 9, Problem 9P
The front 1.20 m of a 1 400-kg car Ls designed as a “crumple zone” that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision. If a car traveling 25.0 m/s stops uniformly in 1.20 m, (a) how long does the collision last, (b) what is the magnitude of the average force on the car, and (c) what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car? Express the acceleration as a multiple of the acceleration due to gravity.
