Surviving a Large Deceleration On July 13, 1977, while on a test drive at Britain’s Silverstone racetrack, the throttle on David Purley’s car stuck wide open. The resulting crash subjected Purley to the greatest "g-force" ever survived by a human—he decelerated torn 173 km/h to zero in a distance of only about 0.66 m. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration experienced by Purley (assuming it to be constant), and express your answer in units of the acceleration of gravity, g = 9.81 m/s2.
