In a simulated head-on crash test, a car impacts a wall at 25 mi/h (40 km/h) and comes abruptly to rest. A 120 lb passenger dummy (with a mass of 55 kg), without a seat belt, is stopped by an air bag, which exerts a force on the dummy of 3000 lb. How long was the dummy in contact with the air bag while coming to a stop?
