Vehicle 1 was a white 1994 Honda Civic DX, two door hatchback vehicle, bearing Florida tag, 562 0QM and VIN#: 2HGEH2461RH507024. The vehicle was registered to Shawn Anthony Barker of 11605 North Street, Gibsonton, Florida 33534. Vehicle 1 had a registered curb weight of 2201 pounds.…
t v t 4. v t 5. 004 10.0 points If a car hits a tree, the car’s occupants (if the car has no seat belts or air bags) will be violently accelerated forward and strike the dashboard with murderous force, due to an initial forward force exerted on their bodies by the backs of their seats. 1.…

The purpose of this project is to build a mouse trap car and apply it to Newton's laws of motion. Newton's first law states that every material object continues in its state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces acting on it. Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object (in the direction of the net force) and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Newton's third law of motion states that whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. Then these laws will apply to our mousetrap car and they will affect the outcome of the distance traveled in our mousetrap data results.…
An incredible automobile safety feature that makes accidents more survivable is the crumple zone of a car. Crumple zones absorb a good amount of the kinetic energy associated with the crash, which does not transfer to the occupant. Parts of the crumple zone include the hood, bumpers, bumper shock absorbers, and quarter panels. Typically, crumple zones are located in the front part of the vehicle, in order to absorb the impact of a head-on collision, though they may be found on other parts of the vehicle as well.…

A large truck collides head-on with a small car. The car is severely damaged as a result of the collision. According to Newton's third law, how do the forces acting between the truck and car compare during the collision?…
Physics of Car Crashes INTERNAL - Notes INJURIES TO A HUMAN: During a car crash, there are three different collisions that occur. The first one is the collision of the car and the opposing object, the second is the human inside the car and the car itself. The final collision is the ones that occur within the human body itself. BRAIN:…
In life, there are many different cultures, races, genders and beliefs. But as humans, we have the rights to choose as we please. Just as in “The Fender Bender” where an illegal immigrant hits an American citizen’s van. The Hispanic man automatically starts panicking because he knows the cops are on the way to the scene. This story relates to a personal situation of mine when I backed into a brand new BMW owned by an Africa American woman in a Walmart parking lot. While both in the story and in my life, many emotions came upon the situation like panic, sympathy, and relief.…
The hood and the bumpers of these cars are relatively large and are made out of soft materials. This allows them to crumple to a controllable size when the car crashes into something with a large amount of force. Crumple zones also redistribute the force of impact as most of the impacting energy is spent on destroying the hood of the car. Thus, almost all of the energy is used up before it hits the passengers. The next paragraph will explain the physics behind crumple…
Although, in a Tennessee city, six red light cameras were placed and collected data for 6 years from 2005 to 2011. During the 6 year period, three extra cameras were also placed and included in the study, Testerman was able to collect the data that showed 587 rear-end crashes and 125 right-angle crashes (2013). After reviewing the data he noticed that after the first 2 year period of increased rear-end collisions, that the rate of rear-end collisions actually decreased. The result shows that the cameras reduced injury crashes by 25 to 30 percent (Testerman, 2013).…
AIR BAG MANUFACTURING PROCESS Muhammad Junaid Ali 11-14-11 Group :: 5 Background • An air bag is an inflatable cushion designed to protect automobile occupants from serious injury in the case of a collision • Air bag is designed to supplement the protection offered by seat belts which are needed to hold occupant securely in place especially in side impacts, rear impacts, and rollovers. • Upon detecting a collision, air bags inflate instantly to cushion the exposed occupant with a big gasfilled pillow • An air bag consists of an air bag module (containing an inflator or gas generator and an air bag), crash sensors, a diagnostic monitoring unit, a steering wheel connecting coil, and an indicator lamp. Raw materials • An air bag module has three main parts: the air bag, the inflator, and the propellant. The air bag is sewn from a woven nylon fabric and can come in different shapes and sizes depending on specific vehicle requirements.…
