Question

During an auto accident, the vehicle's air bags deploy and slow down the passengers more gently that if they had hit the windshield or steering wheel. According to safety standards, the bags produce a maximum acceleration of 60g (g = 9.8 m/s² is the acceleration due to Earth's gravity), but lasting for only 34 ms (or less). How far (in meters) does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 34 ms at a constant acceleration of 60g?
