2.23 •• BIO Automobile Airbags. The human body can survive an acceleration trauma incident (sudden stop) if the magnitude of the ac- celeration is less than 250 m/s². If you are in an automobile accident with an initial speed of 105 km/h (65 mi/h) and are stopped by an air- bag that inflates from the dashboard, over what minimum distance must the airbag stop you for you to survive the crash?
