Find over what distance must the airbag stop

Reference no: EM13706203

Problem: The human body can survive an acceleration trauma incident (sudden stop) if the magnitude of the acceleration is less than 250 m/s². If you are in an automobile accident with an initial speed of 199 km/h (124 mi/h) and you are stopped by an airbag that inflates from the dashboard,

Part A: Over what distance must the airbag stop you for you to survive the crash?

Any help I can get on this problem is greatly appreciated! I'm not too familiar with this problem.
