A 50 kilogram driver sits in her car waiting for the traffic light to change. Another car hits her from behind in a head on, rear end collision and her car suddenly receives an acceleration of 16m/s^2. If all of this takes place in 0.25 second,

(a) Determine the impulse on the driver?

(b) Determine the average force exerted on the driver, and what exerts this force?
