A person who is properly restrained by an over-the-shoulder seat belt has a good chance of surviving a car collision if the deceleration does not exceed 30 鈥済鈥檚鈥欌. Assuming uniform deceleration at 30 g鈥檚, calculate the distance over which the front end of the car must be designed to collapse if a crash brings the car to rest from 95 km/h.
Estimate (a) how long it took King Kong to fall straight down from the top of the Empire State Building (380 m high), and (b) his velocity just before 鈥渓anding.鈥
You are driving home from school steadily at 95 km/h for 180 km. It then begins to rain, and you slow down to 65 km/h. You arrive home after driving for 4.5 h.
