Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted onthe driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars aredesigned with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event ofan impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance ofabout 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained byseat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, anunrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed(Newton's first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. Theseare unyielding surfaces, and the unfortunate occupant thendecelerates over a distance of only about 5 mm.Part AA 62 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 13 m/s. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bagdeploys.Express your answer with the appropriate units.Part BEstimate the net force that ultimately stops the person if he or she is not restrained by a seat belt or air bag.Express your answer with the appropriate units.
