Hello Officer, I'm Sam. I was heading north. I stopped at a light. When the light changed, I started to go when all of a sudden that hatchback hit me. I couldn't have been going more than 3 meters/sec. Hello Ma'am. I'm Officer Anita. So, what exactly happened here? Hello Officer, I'm Sally. I was driving west when all of a sudden that sedan over there appeared out of nowhere and I hit him. I wasn't speeding! The skid mark is 14 m long. The coefficient of friction between the tires of the cars and the road you measured is 0.32. Sam's sedan has a mass of 1600 kg, while Sally's hatchback has a mass of 1800 kg. The speed limit on the E-W road is 30 mi/h, and the N-S road is in a residential zone with a speed limit of 15 mi/h So, who gets the ticket? 1. Describe how you decided whom to give a ticket to 2. describe what you found out about how physics explains the results of car crashes in the real world. 3. Conclude by saying what you learned from this exercise.
