The discussion focuses on understanding the effectiveness of Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) in vehicles. The user seeks guidance on how to demonstrate ABS effectiveness using numerical examples and relevant formulas. Key points include the function of ABS, which prevents wheel lock-up during braking, and the need for clarity on the physics principles involved. The conversation highlights a lack of familiarity with ABS compared to other safety systems like airbags and seatbelts. Overall, the user is looking for specific insights into the mechanics and calculations related to ABS.

Hi, I am in my first year of physics and am a bit lost. I need to know how to show the effectiveness of ABS using numerical examples and the formulas used.
I have no idea! we've had to do it for airbags, seatbelts, crumple zones and head restraints where I have a fair idea...I just don't know what I should be looking at with ABS.

ABS is a system to prevent the wheels from "locking up". What does that tell you?
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing ,
The core is PLA material (3d printed)
The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm
If the universe is fundamentally probabilistic, and all possible outcomes are realized in some branch of the multiverse, does that invalidate the concept of scientific inquiry? If knowledge is merely a description of one particular branch of reality, does it have any inherent value?
