Chapter 9, Problem 10CQ

Automobiles are designed with “crumple zones” intended to collapse in a collision. Why would a manufacturer design part of a car so that it collapses in a collision?

Automobiles are designed with “crumple zones” intended to collapse in a collision. Why would a manufacturer design part of a car so that it collapses in a collision?
Cars used to be built as rigid as possible to withstand collisions. Today, though, cars are designed to have “crumple zones” that collapse upon impact. What is the advantage of this new design?
You and your brother argue often about how to safely secure a toddler in a moving car. You insist that special toddler seats are critical in improving the chances of a toddler surviving a crash. Your brother claims that, as long as his wife is buckled in next to him with a seat belt while he drives, she can hold onto their toddler on her lap in a crash. You decide to perform a calculation to try to convince your brother. Consider a hypothetical collision in which the 16 kg toddler and his parents are riding in a car traveling at 41 mi/h relative to the ground. The car strikes a wall, tree, or another car, and is brought to rest in 0.13 s. You wish to demonstrate to your brother the magnitude of the force necessary for his wife to hold onto their child during the collision. What is the magnitude of this force (in N)? Show your work. N
