In a head on collision between two cars traveling at 20 m/s (44.7 mph), both cars are brought to a complete stop in 150 ms. Part A: calculate the restraining force required on a 87.2 kg passenger to remain firmly in their seat during such a head on impact. Part B: The weight of an average 175 pound adult is 778 newtons. Imagine if a person in the backseat of one of these cars chose not to wear their seatbelt and instead attempted to use their arms to hold them selves against the seat back. To visualize the strength required to accomplish this, calculate the number of average adults this person have to be able to hold up against gravity in order to accomplish this feat. The restraining forces in part a is equivalent to the combined weight of how many 175 pound adults?

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i.e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i.e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
