Car Crash Research Paper There are five steps that you should do if you are involved in a crash. The First step you should do is Stop immediately. If you do not stop you may be penalized severely for not staying at the scene of the crash. You could even get your driver license suspended or revoked for up to one year. If it is very bad you can get sentenced up to one year. The fine is $2,500. The second thing you should do is find a render aid. Try to find someone that is trained in first aid. If you see someone that is into bad of shape to move them then leave them there until help arrives. You are required to render to any person injured in the crash reasonable assistance including transport. The third step for if you're in a car crash is Clear the traffic. If no ...show more content... If moving your car just isn't possible, flip on your hazards to warn other drivers that your vehicle isn't going anywhere anytime soon." Also in this informational article it states that you should document the scene, "If you have a smartphone with a camera, snap some photos of the accident scene. They'll come in handy during the claim process." On a different article it states you need to keep calm, " If the accident wasn't your fault, you might feel the urge to get angry and yell at the other driver. This won't go well. First, blaming the other person might make it harder to deal with them, and you still need to get their information. Second, getting angry will give you tunnel vision and make it harder to think at a time when you need to be as aware as possible." Also in the article it states that you should probably go to the doctor,"even if you feel okay after the accident, you should take the risk of injury seriously. You might be fine, but there are a number of injuries commonly associated with car accidents that don't show symptoms immediately. Your adrenaline can easily hide the fact that you are hurt, so be sure to keep an eye out for any pain or stiffness as time passes." These are things that you need to do if you are involved in a car Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Physics of a Car Essay Physics of a Car The average driver doesn't think about what keeps their car moving or what keeps them on the road, but that's because they don't have to. The average driver doesn't have to worry about having enough downforce to keep them on the road or if they will reach the adhesive limit of their car's tires around a turn. These are the things are the car designers, professional drivers, racing pit crews, serious sports car owners, and physicist think about. Physics are an important part of every sports and racing car design. The stylish curves and ground effects on sports cars are usually there not just for form but function as well allowing you to go speeds over 140 mph in most serious sports cars and remain on the road and in ...show more content... Negative lift is created by front and rear wings on race cars and by ground effects and spoilers on the average sports car. Most negative lift is used to fight inertia as a car rounds a turn. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain in the same state of motion (Murphy 77). When a car rounds a turn at high speeds it often needs more force than it's weight to resist the car's tendency to keep traveling straight. The increased downforce puts more weight on the tires helping the tires grip the road. Drag force is the cost of increasing downforce. Drag force is the force acting on an object in motion in the opposite direction the object is moving through a fluid (Yager). To most people drag force is simply known as air resistance. The objective of aerodynamic efficiency is to maximize downforce while minimizing drag force. Acceleration and Speed are obviously the two defining characteristics of a fast car. Newton's three laws of motion are an essential part in determining how fast a car will accelerate and how fast it will go. Newton's second law is the easiest to understand in relation to a car's acceleration. Newton's second law mathematically states Force=(mass)(acceleration) (Murphy 78). This law explains why cars that need to accelerate fast should be relatively light in weight compared to other cars. Removing mass, such as a bumper, radio or fancy upholstery reduces the weight of Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Narrative Essay On A Car Accident Life is unpredictable and an accident can happen anytime. on our way back home from church my dad was driving a black 2012 Toyota Highlander, which is a family car that seven people can ride in it. My younger brother, Taw Nay Gay, and I were sitting on the seat behind the driver seat by the door.

I remembered my friend Tim said when he got in to car accident he and the other driver were cursed and blamed each other about the accident.

Cause And Effect Of A Car Crash People never know when life can come crashing to an end. My boyfriend, friend and I were in a car accident that happened while we brought her home from a rival high school football game. Many factors went into the cause of the wreck, but there are several more effects of this event that need to be discussed. A car crash can affect your life in a variety of ways. To begin with, there are some obvious negative ways that an accident can impact your life. One of those things is a totaled car. When the wreck occurred, we drifted off the road and into a ditch. Consequently, we hit a tree that destroyed the vehicle . The front left side of the Catillac was gone and the left front tire was bent into the car. On my side, the mirror on the outside of the car was taken off and the door was bent in enough to where it would not open. Due to this event my boyfriend's family is now out a vehicle. Secondly, injuries is another issue. The only injuries that we received was sore muscles from jerking forward due to impact with the tree. Although this could have been something major. If the car had flipped, then this crash could have been fatal. Thankfully everyone was okay. Moreover, there was also trama from the wreck. Emotionally, I was messed up for a couple of days after it. I could still see and feel the crash happening. It almost felt like a dream afterwards even though I knew it really did happen. I was wondering why the wreck happened the way that it did. I was also wondering if anything different happened then would have the outcome remained the same. The last negative effect of this is how much each of our parents trust us now. With my boyfriend's parents, they actually were not too upset about the totaled vehicle. They were just glad that all of us were not harmed severely. When I finally got home that night I got yelled at, but it was expected. My dad was just scared about what had happened and he took it out on me. As for the trust, my parents were fine with me. As for them trusting my boyfriend's driving again, well.. he might have a little ways to go before the just level gets up to the same mark it was before. Even though there are many negatives to this car crash happening, there are still positive effects Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Car Crash Narrative Some cars slowed down and pointed their headlights in our direction. They probably saw our vehicle's tracks in the smashed snow. One family stopped and rolled down their window. "Is anyone there?" they asked. "Yes!" Grace shouted. "Do you need help?" "We have help on the way. Thank you!" They returned to their car and drove off. Another set of headlights appeared in the North. The car slowed down and Uncle Joe came running towards the wrecked vehicle. Hope and I tried to open our doors, but the smashed doors could not open. Haley and Grace got out of the vehicle on the left side and Hope and I struggled to crawl from the right side to get out due to the mess within the vehicle created throughout the crash. Joe hugged us, showing his happiness regarding our survival. We stomped through the deep snow in the direction of his small white car, leaving the dented blue Ford expedition and most of our belongings behind. Joe and Grace discussed the accident: what activities to participate in about the damaged vehicle, whether or not to take Hope to the hospital, and when to notify family members and others important ...show more content... Coming out of such a disastrous accident with only minor scratches made me realize to appreciate life. I felt a calming within me as I thought about my grandfather and the other loved ones we have lost watching over us during the accident. I strongly believed in guardian angels after the incident. Ever since the accident, I still find riding with others in the winter difficult and fear an accident might occur again. I beg my parents and friends to drive cautiously on snow. Some uncertainty remains, but the courage I presented during the accident proved to me I possess brave characteristics. I realized the little issues happening in my life no longer mattered, because every day is another day I get to live and thrive. Like an unknown author stated, "Be thankful for another day.

Multi Car Crash Essay Multi–Vehicle Car Crash in Elk Grove Results in One Fatality According to The Sacramento Bee, a multi–vehicle car crash in Elk Grove claimed the life of one man and injured several others. The collision happened on Friday afternoon about 5:15 p.m. near the intersection of Laguna Boulevard and Laguna Oaks Drive. Eyewitnesses reported that a speeding SUV rear–ended a Toyota Prius that was stopped in rush hour traffic. The Prius driver was killed in the collision. The collision began a chain reaction that involved five other vehicles. Two other people were injured in the multi–vehicle car crash.

In most collisions, it is clear which ...show more content... Hire An Attorney You Can Trust To Protect Your Rights. Call Our Office Today For A Free Case Evaluation. California's Comparative Negligence Standard With California's pure comparative negligence standard, a driver may still recover damages even if the driver is partially at fault for the collision. In other words, if you are 20% at fault for the multi–vehicle car crash, you can still receive compensation for 80% of your damages. In a two–vehicle car accident, the math is simple. If your damages are $100,000, you would receive $80,000 in compensation ($100,000 less 20 percent). A multi–vehicle car crash complicates this simple math. Several drivers may be partially to blame for the collision. Sorting out who did what and assigning percentages of fault can be a complex undertaking. It is crucial that you are not held liable for a higher percentage of fault than is actually the case because your settlement will be reduced by this percentage.

Car Crash Project In this Car Crash Project, we had to make sure we used Newton's 3 laws. Let me explain you how I used the 3 laws in my project. For my project, I had three main important parts in my car. One of them was the crumple zone because the car is in motion until it hits the yellow which is the outside force. In Newton's First Law he states that every object stays in motion unless acted upon an outside force . Here the object in motion is the car, and the outside force is the yellow stump. Another main component was the seat belt. The seat belt fell in Newton's Second Law. In that law, it explains how force equals mass x acceleration. So, When the egg is wearing the seatbelt it will stop the egg from accelerating or being in motion. If it was accelerating Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

When a cell phone is used while driving, it distracts the attention of the driver, leading to car accidents. While using a cell phone many people tend to miss traffic signals, because they are not really concentrating on driving. The process of dialing or answering the phone can make them lose control of the vehicle as well. Even though the driver is looking at the road, he or she can easily get distracted by the conversation. This can result in fatal accidents. Third reason of accidents on the road is teenage drivers. "2,739 teenagers died in car accidents in the United States during 2008 ", (drivesteady.com). Some teenagers cause fatal accidents, because of immaturity and lack of experience. Teenagers are very impulsive. Although not intending to hurt anyone, they sometimes drive very aggressively. It is not difficult to find teenagers driving with one hand on the steering wheel, seat pushed back, and with loud music playing. In traffic they go wild, trying to seek attention. They underestimate the risk of what they are doing. All these acts result in serious consequences on the road. Many accidents of young drivers result from their own mistakes. In conclusion, many people do not realize that being intoxicated while driving, using cellular phones and teenage drivers may bring serious injuries to everybody. Some people may enjoy drinking without care until they get into car accident, which can even result in Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

The Crash Of A Car Accident Essay The Crash Getting in a car accident is an unnerving thing. You never know what can happen and if your lucky you might see it coming. Well as often as these accidents occur, it happened to Spencer and I on one fateful summer evening. We had just left his Dads house after driving there to look for his dad. We decided to take his truck instead of the BMW. It was horribly hot and humid. The humidity was almost palpable. It was as if you were wading through a hot, steaming bowl of soup. He had just turned 16 and was obviously inexperienced. We didn't care though. We drove with the windows down jamming out to music. It didn't matter how hot it was we were just enjoying our days of summer. Little did we know, we wouldn't be relishing in this hot summer day much longer. We had just passed NAPA, the auto supply store, heading south for his mothers house. She lived down one block and two to the left. At the stop sign we stopped for a moment, changing the song to bruno mars's "When I Was Your Man". I leaned out the window, crooning out the lyrics. He accelerated and started to cross the highway. CRASH ! It was as if a freight train had hit head on with me, the noise was deafening. Suddenly there were white airbags that had erupted all around me and I was slammed into the side of the truck. We had just been t–boned by an oncoming Toyota pick–up truck. I was faintly aware that our truck was still inching forward until it came to a stop. I looked around. We were next to the library.

Paper Car Crash Experiment The paper car crash experiment had only two rules: you must create a car using only two sheets of paper and unlimited amounts of hot glue, and the car must be heavier than 40grams, no longer than 16.5cm and no wider than 6.5cm. What decided the winner is the overall momentum of your car, which depended on how fast your car run as well as how heavy it is. The challenge for me was hitting the weight limit as well trying to fix the rear axle. I realized that I had glued it too close to the front axle. When I placed the egg in the car, the front of the car would rise up and my car wouldn't roll. Momentum is mass and velocity multiplied together. More so, it's "the difficultly of stopping a moving object" (Jones, 2013). One thing that acts upon Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Essay about The Physics of Car Collisions Basic Concepts Issac Newton was the first to state the concepts that are necessary to understanding the physics of collisions. His three laws are used again and again in all the fields of physics: Newton's 1st Law In the absence of external forces, an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion with a constant velocity. This law can be best observed in space, far from the gravity of a star or planet, where there is no friction or air resistance. If, in the middle of deep space, you give a rock a little push, it will continue with the direction and velocity you gave it forever. The only way to stop it is to apply a force in the opposite direction. This law is not intuitive because we are surrounded ...show more content... Every single action has an equal and opposite reaction. If you were standing in the middle of a perfectly slick frozen lake, and needed to get off, you could throw an object away from you. When you applied force to the object you threw, it also applied an equal force pushing you back. You would travel in the opposite direction from the throw, although slower, because you probably have mass more than the object you threw. Static and Kinetic Friction Friction is a key concept when you are attempting to understand car accidents. The force of friction is a force that resists motion when two objects are in contact. If you look at the surfaces of all objects, there are tiny bumps and ridges. Those microscopic peaks and valleys catch on one another when two objects are moving past each other. This explanation is a little simplified. There are other processes at work, including chemical bonding and electrical interactions. The level of friction that different materials exhibit is measured by the coefficient of friction. The formula is µ = f / N, where µ is the coefficient of friction, f is the amount of force that resists motion, and N is the normal force. Normal force is the force at which one surface is being pushed into another. If a rock that weighs 50 newtons is lying on the ground, then the normal force is that 50

Description Of A Car Accident Essay Essay 1: Car Accident The clock read 4:38 pm and we knew we had to be home by 5:00 pm. Ifraz and I sat patiently in the car waiting for Nida and my sister. As soon as they arrived, we quickly left on our excursion back home. The sun began to set through the cracks in the clouds and darkness was creeping in. The day consisted of a few sprinkles here and there which was just enough to moisten the roads. On the journey home, I was in the driver 's seat while Ifraz was beside me and my sister and Nida were in the back. We all got lost into our conversations and had a great time telling jokes to one another. I kept my eye on a dark blue car right in front of us which seemed to be in a rush. Just as I took my eyes off the car and looked at Ifraz to speak to him, the car in front of us swerved into the right lane. As I looked back onto the road, I searched for the dark blue car, but it was already ahead of two cars in the right lane. My vision turned back to the road in front of me. Just as I did so, my stomach clenched and I held in my breath as I saw a stopped vehicle waiting to turn left about 30 feet in front of me. Thoughts began flooding into my mind on how to maneuver around this vehicle. As I looked to my right for an escape route, another car was right beside me, blocking the getaway. I abruptly pressed on the brakes and all I heard were the tires screeching, trying to grasp onto the slippery road to stop themselves. Time seemed to slow down a great deal while we tried Get more content on StudyHub.Vip

Serious Injuries Require a Personal Injury Attorney If you have sustained a serious injury in a car accident, this could be a trauma that affects you for a long time, or permanently. Because of that, it is imperative to recover all compensation that is due to you from your insurer. You may be quite vulnerable after a car crash, especially if you are in pain from your injury. An experienced personal injury attorney can guide you in understanding the laws regarding how quickly you must attain medical treatment and what you should expect from your insurance company. Unfortunately, if you are trying to handle a claim on your own, you may be dealing with delays, a multitude of questions and ongoing complicated correspondence, and the resulting, deep disappointment of being offered a paltry amount for compensation.

Narrative Essay On Car Accidents I used to read about people getting in car accidents. Finally one happen to me, that was when I realized anything can happen at any moment. It was Monday, June 6th, 2016. The sun was shining and it was nice weather for an adventure. It was the first summer that any of my friends had their licences, so adventures were always happening. Kayla, Emily and I were on our way to Wildwood park, in her old blue car listening to music, using the GPS, and driving. Kayla was driving, Emily in the front seat, and I in the back. We were on Highway 14 going towards Mankato. Kayla looks down at the GPS for a second, I start yelling "shit, shit, shit, shit."and then CRASH. Our small blue car is now in the back of a large pickup truck . After all this happen we end up in the ditch on the other side of the road. We all sat in silence for like a minute, then Kayla started to freak out a little. Emily and I working on calming her down. A construction worker came up to our car and asks us if we are alright and told us, "Make sure you can move your arms and legs, sometimes things happen and you won't even know." We moved and we were all alright. First thing Kayla did was call her grandpa because he owned Kayla's car, he told us he was on his way.

Car Accidents Essay Car accidents are a leading cause of both morbidity and disability. A car accident is said to have occurred when a motor vehicle collides with another motor vehicle, a pedestrian, an animal, a structure, a building or road equipment.

This is very common and dealing with insurance companies is a major problem that most plaintiffs have to bear. In any case, the law allows you to file for damages no matter what the other party says or does. You can initiate a formal process through the civil court where you can seek compensation from the party who is at fault. When you file such a lawsuit, Get more content on StudyHub.Vip
