the human body can survive a negative acceleration trauma incident if the magnitude of the acceleration is 250m/sq. s. If you are in an automobile accident with an initial velocity of 29.17 m/s and are stopped by an airbag that inflates from the dashboard, over what distance must the airbag stop you to survive the crash?
V^2 = Vo^2 + 2a*d.
0 = (29.17)^2 - 500*d, d = ?.
