Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Kinetic Energy and Work: Problem 75
Car crash force from seat belt. A car crashes head on into a wall and stops, with the front collapsing by 0.500 m. The 70 kg driver is firmly held to the seat by a seat belt and thus moves forward by 0.500 m during the crash. Assume that the force on the driver from the seat belt is constant during the crash. Use the work-kinetic energy theorem to find the magnitude of that force during the crash if the initial speed of the car is (a) 35 mi/h and (b) 70 mi/h? (c) If the initial speed is multiplied by 2, as here, by what multiplying factor is the force increased?
π Solution Approach
Given: . A, 0.500 m, 70 kg
Find: (a) 35 mi/h and; (b) 70 mi/h?; (c) If the initial speed is multiplied by 2
