Question:
If the compressive strength of bone is 3.0 x 106 N/m2, will the collision in the previous exercise break the skull?
A car is traveling 30. mph and hits a wall. The car has a crumple zone of zero, and the passenger is not wearing a seat belt. The passenger’s head hits the windshield and is stopped in the distance of 0.10 m. The skull mass is 5.0 kg. The area of contact of the head and the windshield is 0.010 m2. Assume direct contact and ignore the time it takes the passenger to reach the windshield.
