Question Number 161194 by MJS_new last updated on 14/Dec/21

TAKEN FROM REAL LIFE  if I try to walk into a shop through a super  clean closed glass door and get myself a  bloody nose then what′s the value of the  brake acceleration when we assume  1) my walking speed is 7km/hr  2) the crumple zone of my nose is 1/2′′  3) the brake acceleration is constant

a=(v^2 /(2s))  v=7 kmh=(7/(3.6)) m/s  s=1/2′′=((0.054)/2) m  a=70 m/s^2  ≈7 g

$${a}=\frac{{v}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}{s}} \\ $$$${v}=\mathrm{7}\:{kmh}=\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{6}}\:{m}/{s} \\ $$$${s}=\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{2}''=\frac{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{054}}{\mathrm{2}}\:{m} \\ $$$${a}=\mathrm{70}\:{m}/{s}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\approx\mathrm{7}\:{g} \\ $$
