Measurements for "A Case Study of Collisions"

Module by: Brad Newstead. E-mail the author

The mass of the car Ms. Pinkerton was driving is 1160 kg, and it was traveling at 47 mph (76 km/h).

The mass of Pete’s car is 1480 kg and he was traveling at an unknown speed.

The distance the cars traveled after the collision was 27.66 meters at an angle of 61.56 degrees north east.

The coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is 0.7.

Assume that there is no energy lost due to deformation of the cars, and the only force stopping the cars after the collision was that of friction.

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
