Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the physics of automobile accidents, specifically focusing on the survival of the human body during acceleration trauma and the role of airbags in mitigating injury during a crash.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to determine the necessary stopping distance of an airbag to ensure survival during a crash, questioning the relationship between initial speed, acceleration, and safety.

Discussion Status

Some participants express skepticism about the original poster's intent, while others clarify the need for proper formatting in their responses. The discussion is ongoing, with no clear consensus or resolution yet.

Contextual Notes

The original poster indicates a lack of understanding regarding the problem, suggesting that they are seeking help rather than testing knowledge. There may be constraints related to the presentation of information, such as the need for proper formatting of equations.

The human body can survive an acceleration trauma incident ( sudden stop) if the magnitude of the acceleration is less than If you are in an automobile accident with an initial speed of and you are stopped by an airbag that inflates from the dashboard, over what distance must the airbag stop you for you to survive the crash? please help I been trying to solve this problem for ever now.
Thank you

Did you ask us because you know the answer already and want to make some quizzies?

No offense!
 
no, I just don't know the answer:cry:
 
Hi kero! :smile:

erm :redface: … you're doing it again …

copying-and-pasting from a webpage won't pick up any LaTeX or gifs …
you need to type them in separately! :wink:​
