please answer problem number 1

O PROBLEM 1: Physics in Survival. The human body can survive an acceleration of less than 250 m/s. If
a person is involved in a car accident with an initial speed of 120 km/h and is stopped by an airbag.
a. Over what distance must the airbag stop the person to survive a crash? (Show your complete
solution)
b. If a car doesn't have any built-in airbag, is there any other way to survive such a car accident?
(Answer in a maximum of 3 sentences)
O PROBLEM 2: Physics in Sports. You and your friends decided to witness the Championship game
between De La Salle Green Archers and the Ateneo Blue Eagles at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena. In the
last few minutes of the 4th quarter, the Blue Eagles are almost about to win the game with a score of
103 - 102. Coming from the Blue Eagles' court, Green Archer Joel Cagulangan is able to complete a
steal of the ball but needs to pass it to another teammate, James Laput, who is 21.3 m away from
where Cagulangan stands.
a. If Cagulangan is able to project his shoot to Laput at 30 degrees above the horizontal with a
maximum height of 2.5 m and an initial velocity of 14 m/s, would Laput be able to catch it?
(Show your complete solution)
b. What should Laput do for his team, the Green Archers, to phenomenally win in the last few
seconds of the game? (Answer in a maximum of 3 sentences)
