79. An airplane pilot fell 370 m after jumping from an aircraft without his parachute opening. He landed in a snowbank, creating a crater 1.1 m deep, but survived with only minor injuries. Assuming the pilot's mass was 88 kg and his speed at impact was 45 m/s, estimate: (a) the work done by the snow in bringing him to rest: (b) the average force exerted on him by the snow to stop him; and (c) the work done on him by air resistance as he fell. Model him as a particle.

Air bags are used in cars to decelerate the occupants slowly when a car is suddenly decelerated in a crash. (a) Compute the work done by the decelerating force acting on a 55.0 kg driver if the car is brought to rest from an initial speed of 20.0 m/s. (b) Find the minimum thickness of the air bag if the average decelerating force is not to exceed 8900 N (2000 lb), and the center of the car moves forward 0.800 m during impact
(a) A 75-kg man steps out a window and falls (from rest) 1.0 m to a sidewalk. What is his speed just before his feet strike the pavement? (b) If the man falls with his knees and ankles locked, the only cushion for his fall is an approximately 0.50-cm give in the pads of his feet. Calculate the average force exerted on him by the ground during this 0.50 cm of travel. This average force is sufficient to cause damage to cartilage in the joints or to break bones.
