(17\%) Problem 6: A 62.5 -kg person is riding in a car moving at 21m/s (assume this is the positive direction) when the car runs into a bridge abutment. This problem will illustrate why the invention of the airbag dramatically improved the safety of automobiles.
W. 50% Part (a) Calculate the horizontal component of the average force, in newtons, on the person if he is stopped by a padded dashboard that compresses an average of ?.85cm. Fdath ?= Hints: 2 for a 1 - deduction. Hints remaining - Feedhack: deduction per feestack. -You know the initial and final velocities of the penon, as well as the disunce triveled so you can use kinematics to determine their acceleration. -Notice the direction of the acoelenation and the force on the penon. Be careful with your signs, since this problem is suling for the conponent of a forse and not the mapnitude
