Magnitude of average force required holding onto the child


The man claims that he can hold to a 12 kg child in a head on collision as long as he has hit seat belt on. Let, consider this man in a collision in which he is in one of two similar cars each traveling toward the other 60 mi/ h relative to the ground. The car in which he rides is carried to rest after 0.10 seconds. Determine

i) The magnitude of average force required holding onto the child?

ii) Based on the outcome in part (i), is the man's claim valid?

iii) What does the answer to this problem state regarding laws requiring the use of proper safety devices like seat belts and special toddler seats?
