You are working for a day in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and your job is to determine if the car here shown is safe. Using all the information presented in the picture below, calculate i) the average force F_avg experienced by a person during a car accident, and ii) the head/body acceleration a in units of g. Considering the thresholds for fracture and the damage for brain/spinal cord, respectively, is this car safe?Note: kN stands for kilo Newtons and g = 9.8m/s²

Note: KN stands for kilo Newtons and g = 9.8m/s2 Working for a day in the Insurance Institute For Highway Safety. Average force experienced by a person during a car accident Ap Fave = ma At Favg = ? Threshold force for fracture = 9x104N Head/body acceleration Av a =?g a = Time to come to rest using the At Damage to Brain/Spinal Cord 50g for 0.06s or 150g for 0.004s seat belt and airbags: 0.150 s Assume: Is this car SAFE? g=9.8m/s2 mp= 75Kg = mass of a person V. = 27m/s (60mi/h) A. Yes. Fayo= 7.5 kN and a= 50.5 g V- = 0.0 m/s (rest/stop) B. No. Fava= 13.5 kN and a= 18.4 g A= 0.5m2 = head & chest C. Yes. Fava= 135 kN and a= 275.5 g surface area D. No. Fava= 135 kN and a= 275.5 g At = 0.150s E. Yes. Fayo= 13.5 kN and a= 18.4 g
