You read about a car accidnet in the newspaper. A car travelling at 70 km/h collided with a concrete bridge support. The front end of the car was compressed 0.94m, and the car came to a complete stop within this distance. You wonder, how many "g's" of accelration did the occupant of the car experience?

A

12.1

B

20.5

C

6.8

D

7.4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`a=((70xx(5)/(18))^(2))/(2xx0.94`
