Calculate the magnitude and duration of the acceleration

Reference no: EM13314015

Traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. A car traveling 105 km/h (65 mph) strikes a tree. The front end of the car compresses and the driver comes to rest after traveling 0.80 m.

Calculate the magnitude and duration of the acceleration during the collision.
