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
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...
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?
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...
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...
