<span>Part b) Find your horizontal distance from the window (answer: 1.5 m)
Part c) Calculate the speed of the ball upon catching it (answer: 8.2 m/s)
I'm confused about what "42 degrees below the horizontal" means. Could someone provide guidance on how to approach this?</span>
The change in momentum (i.e., impulse) from the car during the collision remains constant regardless of whether an airbag is present. This is because the car's mass is unchanged, and the velocity change remains the same. Therefore, if the force is constant as F and reduced by a factor of 110, it follows that the collision duration must increase by the same factor when the airbag is utilized.
