    Using physics in accident investigation

    ok.. how would displacement be used to investigate accidents??

    Using physics in accident investigation

    i would believe the rust bucket because the skid marks were longer.. I am not exactly sure.. but for my assignment i don't really have to know general principles.. i just need to explain how to find displacement or acceleration and relate it to a car accident

    Using physics in accident investigation

    ok yea I've done this before and i recognize the formula.. soo i guess my other formula v=Sqreroot of 2*f*d was totally wrong.. ohwell ... so to find displacement and acceleration how would i re arrange the formula?? and could you also give examples like the previous on please and thank you...

    Using physics in accident investigation

    im not entierly sure but i think to determine velocity i have to use the formula V=squreroot of fd... but if i knew i was right, i wouldn't exactly be asking for help now would i?

    Using physics in accident investigation

    ughh.. ideas?? my topic is how physics is used to recreate traffic accident like car crashes... soo far ill i know is that by determining the distance of a skid mark and the coefitiant of friction i can figure out how fast the car was going... but i still don't know how to find acceleration or...

    Using physics in accident investigation

    i have an assignment in physics due tommorrow and i would really appreciate it if someone could explain to me how acceleration, velocity and displacement are used to investigate accidets. Or if you know of any great sites i could go on to find this information would be very helpful. please...
