Car Accidents And Physics
Every day, many Americans are hurt or killed in car accidents. Many factors can play into an accident. Road condition, mechanical failure, driver error, or simply an 'act of God'? Despite the countless reasons for a car accident, one factor is always present, no matter what the case: physics. Every accident that has ever occurred has involved physics. Using references found in the class text, in science journals, and on the Internet, I will prove this to you.
Take, for example, two cars traveling in opposite directions at 100km/h. One of the drivers dozes off and crosses over the centerline. The two cars hit head on. The driver of car A has remained inside the car and has broken ribs. The driver of car B, however, is on the hood of car A and is pronounced dead at the scene. Cause of death? Disobeying the laws of physics. "Suppose the cars collide head-on and bounce off each other at 4.0 meters per second (9 miles per hour). The collision will change both cars' momentum.......
