An occupant of a car has a chance of surviving a crash if the deceleration during the crash is not more then 30 g. Calculate the force on a 70k g decelerating at this rate
Added by Karina G.
Step 1
We are given the maximum deceleration rate, which is 30 g. We need to convert this to m/s^2. Since 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2, we have: 30 g = 30 × 9.81 m/s^2 Show more…

A person has a reasonable chance of surviving an automobile crash if the deceleration is no more than 30 "g's." Calculate the magnitude of the force on a 82-kg person accelerating at this rate. What distance is traveled if brought to rest at this rate from 110 km/h ?
