Suppose a car is involved in a collision in which it is brought to a constant speed of 31 m/s. Fortunately, the seatbelt worn by the 65 kg driver brought the driver to rest in 350 ms. How much force is exerted by the seat on the driver? Compute for the acceleration experienced by the driver during collision and how this is compared to the acceleration due to gravity.
