The front 1.20 m of a 1,350-kg car is designed as a "crumple zone" that collapses to absorb the shock of a collision.

(a) If a car traveling 22.0 m/s stops uniformly in 1.20 m, how long does the collision last?
s

(b) What is the magnitude of the average force on the car?
N

(c) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car? Express the acceleration as a multiple of the acceleration of gravity.

A car’s bumper is designed to withstand a 3.0–km/h (0.833–m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of the car. The bumper cushions the shock by absorbing the force over a distance. Calculate the magnitude of the average force on a bumper that collapses 0.220 m while bringing a 880–kg car to rest from an initial speed of 0.833 m/s.

A driver traveling at 58 m/s in a car of mass 1100 kg runs into the rear end of a police car of mass 1400 kg, traveling at 25.52 m/s. The collision is completely inelastic, and all motion is restricted to a straight line. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Immediately following the collision, what is the shared velocity of the two cars? Answer in units of m/s. The engines stop working, wheels lock up, and the...

A 1000-kg car approaches an intersection traveling north at 20.0 m/s. A car of equal mass approaches the same intersection traveling east at 22.0 m/s. The two cars collide at the intersection and lock together. Ignoring any external forces that act on the cars during the collision, what is the velocity ,aka, magnitude and direction, of the cars immediately after collision?

Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with...
