A 72.5-kg person is riding in a car moving at 22.5 m/s (assume this is the position direction) when the car runs into a bridge abutment. This problem will illustrate why the invention of the airbag dramatically improved the safety of automobiles Calculate the horizontal component of the average force, in newtons, on the person if he is stopped by a padded dashboard that compresses an average of 1.2 cm
