Chapter 2, Problem 32P
|| BIO Air-bag injuries. During an auto accident, the vehicle’s air bags deploy and slow down the passengers more gently than if they had hit the windshield or steering wheel. According to safety standards, the bags produce a maximum acceleration of 60g, but lasting for only 36 ms (or less). How far (in meters) does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 36 ms at a constant acceleration of 60g?

brakes, and the car decelerates at 7.00 m/s². What is the stopping distance
of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first sees the red
light?
