    We used a scooping utensil to collect the salt and used a weigh boat to hold and measure the mass. (The weight of the weigh boat was zeroed out prior to measuring the salt). Once we added the salt to the ammonia and completely mixed the solution, we pipetted 20 mL into a volumetric flask. Then we set up a titration system using 0.100M NaOH in the buret.…

    In this paper, I will discuss the Motorcoach Run-Off-the-Road and Rollover that occurred on U.S. Route 163 Mexican Hat, Utah January 6, 2008. I will begin by discussing how most departments make routine traffic accidents daily on shift. Comparing the preparation between a large city and smaller city. I will then explain on how safety has been of importance of the design of the automobile but cannot take into account driver fatigue. Next I will discuss some of the important facts on the incident from how it happened, patients, response, mutual aid, and preparedness. Following with lessons learned from the incident on how preparedness is key for training to get better and responding for mass casualty incidents and how surrounding jurisdictions should get together to take an inventory of all resources they have so that when needed they can be called upon to send the appropriate support. Finally, applying these…

    Figure 1: The velocity-versus-time graph depicted above demonstrates the velocity of the blue and grey cart, after an inelastic collision. However, a total of 0.5 kilograms (kg) was added to the blue cart, giving it a total mass of 0.8187 kg while the grey cart had a mass of 0.2987 kg. The blue cart, depicted with the red line, started with an initial velocity of 0.4610 m/s, while the gray cart, represented by the blue line, started from rest. After the collision, the final velocity for both the blue and grey cart was 0.3100 m/s to the right. Figure 2: The figure above depicts the velocity of the blue and grey carts before and after an inelastic collision, with no additional masses added to either cart.…

    The crumple zone is a structural feature in which can be mostly found in automobiles. They are constructed to absorb the kinetic energy from impact during an accident by controlled deformation. In order to absorb the impact of a head on collision, most of the time crumple zones are designed to be in the front part of a vehicle, they can also be found on the rear and sides of vehicles. Isaac Newton’s first law states that an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless it is acted upon by unbalanced force. An example of this is if a car is moving at 60 km/h so are the bodies inside of the vehicle. But if this vehicle was to stop suddenly after colliding into a solid wall, the bodies will feel the need to keep…

    As individuals carry on in life they develop expectancies. Expectancy is what we expect to occur in a familiar situation. We expect a doorknob to twist clockwise and a light switch to go down when we want the light off. Expectancies are carried over to driving. Dewar, Farber, & Olson (2010), discusses how common practices have been developed while designing vehicles, road-design and signage so that a certain expectancies can be developed. This expectancy allows for drivers to be ready and aware of the situations they may be encountered on the roads. When people’s expectancies are challenged they must adjust and establish…

    This paper investigates the theories that are prevalent in the movie Crash. The diverse characters show how the theories work, for the good and bad. The first couple is Detective Graham and his mother, and their theories tend to circle around Detective Graham’s family and their reliance on him. Next is the Persian Shop Owner, whose theories apply to his family and how they are treated. Then, there is Peter and Anthony, their theories tend to focus on how they view society. Forth is the District Attorney and his Wife, their theories focuses mostly on how they are progressing. Fifth is Cameron and Kristine and majority of their theories focus on the somewhat downward slide of their life. Sixth is The Locksmith and his family, and their theories…

    Speeding, races, collisions and careless driving are all the things we would see if we did not have rules, regulations and appropriate point systems. When you are driving a car you have to understand that there are other road users on the road and when you are driving erratically, you are risking not only your life but the other road users as well. The Demerit Point System and The Ontario Regulation regarding street racing, contests and stunts are what keep the streets free of these drivers.…

    Graph 1 shows patterns observed with parachute shape. The patterns observed are that the octagon has much slower speed than all the other shapes. The rectangle shape parachute is the fastest speed. The R squared value looks at the points of data and their variations to determine a strong or weak correlation. The rectangle shows the weakest points of data and the octagon shows the strongest points of data. It is noted that no control run is conducted in this experiment. When trialing the octagon parachute, the results show very accurate data. It shows that it is the slowest speed, and experiences the most air resistance. The square parachute has the second most accurate data, based on the standard deviation from the mean. The speed of the square is the second slowest, and experiences great air resistance. The circle experiences fast rates placing it in third. The data is not as precise as the square and octagon. The rectangle experiences very fast rates, placing it in last place. It does not experience much air resistance, and the data is the least accurate. The rectangle had the largest average…

    Reality and Crash

    I would like to start by saying that, I really enjoyed watching the movie CRASH, some of the things shown in the movie are very realistic and much of it can’t even be put into words. Two of the behaviors that I noticed most, are prejudice and stereotyping. It was the cause of where all the events eradicated from. These behaviors are viewed as thoughts and feelings that almost everyone has felt more than once. This movie shows us the different point of view of people in our society; it gives us an insight of the stereotypes that have built within our society and within the world. It invites us to see and understand how such a small stereotype and negative attitude can go a long way and affect people differently. In the movie Crash it is apparent that emotions run high with racial and ethnic inequality such as frustration, aggression, and authoritative personalities.…

    Single Vehicle Collisions

    • 886 Words

    In society today, there are numerous reasons or factors as to why there are single vehicle collisions on American roads. Alcohol or substance abuse, animals crossing the road, and falling asleep at the wheel are just a few examples. There is not a whole that can be done for animal collisions, as more often than not the animal jumps out at the last second. But for the single vehicle collisions that do pertain to the car going off the road, there are ways to prevent the run off or help the driver regain control before it is too late. One way that is commonly used in the United States is to place rumble strips on the sides of the road. Another way is to use safety edges. Both have their benefits and their downfalls, but overall safety…

    Three Types Of Collisions

    • 4 Pages

    Collisions may involve many different qualities but momentum is a main aspect of a collision. There are three main types of collisions: elastic collisions, inelastic collisions, and completely inelastic collisions. All collisions involve momentum because momentum is conserved in all collisions. Momentum is also known as mass in motion and a vector. Momentum equals mass times velocity, which is found during a collision. Momentum is an important part during a collision because it determines the outcome of the collision depending on what is involved in the momentum.…
