A car moving at 70 km/h collides with a concrete bridge support. The bridge support is unaffected but the front of the car is compressed by 0.94m. What average force must a seatbelt exert in order to restrain a 75 kg passenger during this collision.
When jumping straight down, you can be seriously injured if you land stiff-legged. One way to avoid injury is to bend your knees upon landing to reduce the force of the impact. A 69.5-kg man just before contact with the ground has a speed of 8.82 m/s. (a) In a stiff-legged landing he comes to a halt in 4.17 ms. Find the magnitude of the average net force that acts on him during this time. (b) When he bends his knees, he comes to a halt in 0.267 s. Find the magnitude of the average net force now. (c) During the landing, the force of the ground on the man points upward, while the force due to gravity points downward. The average net force acting on the man includes both of these forces. Taking into account the directions of the forces, find the magnitude of the force applied by the ground on the man in part (b).
In a crash test, a car with a mass of 1200 kg hits the wall as shown. the car's initial and final speeds are 20 i m / s and 3.2 i m / s, respectively. What is the average force applied to the car if the collision lasts for 0.2 s?

They plan to break the window, then lower the safe 3.0 m to their truck. Not being too clever, they stack up 500 kg of furniture and ie a rope over a pulley. Then they push a safe out the window. Acceleration was too large and the safe slammed on the truck with large velocity (6.1 m/s), breaking through the truck floor. Now the robbers decide that they learned their lesson. They plan to redo, and decide that the safe should not hit the truck with a velocity less than 1.5 m/s. a) What is the max acceleration that they can have in order to limit the impact velocity to 1.5 m/s? b) To limit a value, robbers plan to put cloth on the furniture to increase friction.
