An over the shoulder can greatly increase your chance of surviving an overwise fatal car crah, especially if in this crash you experience an acceleration of no more than 30 "g's" (1 g = 9.8 m/s^2). We can call this the maximum rated acceleration.  question A: What is the maximum rated acceleration? Please answer in m/s^2  ?? Question B: A car is travelling at 95 km/hr when it is in a head on collision. The car's front end is crushed, bringing it to a stop after undergoing the maximum rated acceleration. Calulate the distance that the front end of the car moves as it is caved in. Please answer in m   Please answer both question A and B
