Person A was driving Northbound on Markham Road when he was struck by Person B driving Eastbound The resulting collision can be assumed to be perfectly inelastic as the wreckage was found near 'My Little Pizzeria'. Both parties claim that they were following all road rules and regulations and that the other party is at fault. a) Since the collision is inelastic there is assumed to be a loss of kinetic energy, calculate how much kinetic energy is lost? b)Determine the magnitude of total momentum before the accident, after the accident and impulse experienced by each driver (kgm/s). c) Calculate the magnitude of average acceleration (during the collision) for each driver (m/s 2 ). d)The NHTSA states that a chest acceleration of 60G or greater over longer than 3 ms is fatal. Determine whether either party could survive on this basis. Please do not use calculus
