Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. cars are designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. in the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates with the car. by contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (newton's first law! ) until hitting the dashboard or windshield, as we saw in figure 4.2. these are unyielding surfaces, and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5 mm.
a. a 60 kg person is in a head-on collision. the car's speed at impact is 15 m/s.
estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air
bag deploys.
b. estimate the net force that ultimately stops the person if he or she is not restrained
by a seat belt or air bag.
c. how does these two forces compare to the person's weight

Aparticle of mass m is projected with an initial velocity v0 in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal level ground as shown in the figure. the motion of the particle occurs under a uniform gravitational field g pointing downward. (a) write down the lagrangian of the system by using the cartesian coordinates (x, y). (b) is there any cyclic coordinate(s). if so, interpret it (them) physically. (c) find the euler-lagrange equations. find at least one constant of motion. (d) solve the differential equation in part (c) and obtain x and y coordinates of the projectile as a function of time. (e) construct the hamiltonian of the system, h, and write down the hamilton’s equations (canonical equations) of motion.
