Physics Of A Hot-Rod Car

579 Words3 Pages

My idea for a hot rod car that counteracts the physics of a car crash is, a hot rod made out of Plastic, Wood, Foam, Cotton balls, Crochet egg holder, popsicle sticks, that will withstand 4 crashes at 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, and can travel a great distance.

Newton's first law of motion comes into play when the car crashes because without any type of “seat belt” securing in the rider, egg. My idea to hold an egg in place is to glue down a crochet egg holder with eye hole, so when the car crashes the egg will stay in place, because when a car crashes, it will crash at the speed the car is moving, and the egg would crash at the same speed the car is moving without anything holding it in pace, so the crocheted egg holder would hold the egg in place, so it does not break the egg. …show more content…

So when the car crashes it comes back to Newton’s First law when it hits the surface, it will need a crumple zone. A crumple zone is meant to absorb and distribute force, my idea is to use foam at the front of my cars as a crumple zone, so when the car crashes, the foam will crumple with the car and absorbing the force when you hit the surface of the wall, reducing the chance of

Compare the Dodge Challenger and the Chevy Camaro. The Dodge Challenger is overall the better car. " Compare”The Dodge Challenger has better horsepower and RPM. Also the Dodge Challenger has a better selection of engines to choose from. On top of all that the Dodge Challenger has a better 0-60 and a better top speed.

Roughly speaking, a 14 mi/h (23 km/h) barrier collision is equivalent to striking a parked car of similar size across the full front of each vehicle at about 28 mi/h (45 km/h). This is because the parked car absorbs some of the energy of the crash, and is pushed by the striking vehicle. Unlike crash tests into barriers, real-world crashes typically occur at angles, and the crash forces usually are not evenly distributed across the front of the vehicle. Consequently, the relative speed between a striking and struck vehicle required to deploy the air bag in a real-world crash can be much higher than an equivalent barrier

Also I suck wooden stakes through the pens to connect the my wheels. Then I super glued a balloon to a straw, then super glued the straw to my car. Then u blow up the balloon and then it will go. My car relates to newton 's first law because if an object is at rest is tents to stay at rest and if an object in in motion it tends to stay in motion. My car stayed at rest most of the time.

Teen car wrecks are tragic and happen way too often, vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in America. In 2013 alone more than 2,163 teens, ages 16-19 were killed and 243,243 were treated in hospitals for injuries due to vehicle crashes. That means six teens died every day as a result of motor vehicle crashes. The huge majority (75 percent) of serious teen driver crashes are due to what officials call “critical errors” One of the biggest culprits is the lack of scanning mirrors and other important spots that are a necessity in order to detect and respond to hazards.

The crumple zone investigation was done successfully, obtaining relevant and reliable data which can be used to obtain a conclusion as to whether the hypothesis statement was correct. Graph 1 shows Crumple zone material against the deceleration of the cart upon impact, graph 2 the crumple zone material against the force of the impact. When comparing the data of both graphs, a direct relationship between graph 1 and graph 2 is evident in all materials except the paper box. The control, as expected due to there being no crumple zone, was the worst result for both deceleration and force by a considerable margin. Cardboard the worst crumple zone behind bubble wrap for both deceleration and force, with foam, and the paper box (unreliable result),

The Change of Two Brother’s Relationship Certain circumstances can change a person for the better or for the worse. In “The Red Convertible” by Louise Erdrich, she demonstrates how the Vietnam War completely altered a young man’s personality. Two brothers, Henry and Lyman, who has an inseparable bond in the beginning of the story were portrayed also as best friends.

he purpose of the experiment is to show how the different heights, surfaces and masses can affect the speed and stopping distance. In real life circumstances there are many car crashes, a total of more than a thousand per year in Australia, millions more worldwide. These are caused by the lack of safety surfaces on the roads, weather conditions that can affect the grip of the wheels and hills as they increase the speed of the car meaning the car while have a longer stopping distance than usual. Car crashes can also happen due to stiff or broken breaks.

Many mechanics for different companies such as Mercedes, Audi, Porsche and many other have their own design for safety features such as crumple zones and this is what divides the good expensive cars from the bad and cheap ones. Most materials that they are made out of are: titanium or steel, spaced reinforcing fibres, low or high density polymeric foam. Crumple zones will firstly have high density of polymeric foam that is placed in the front cabin. Secondly the foam is caged in mechanical ribs made from the titanium or as I said before steel. Lastly as well the front end of the car is built from titanium or steel.

Introduction Vehicles are all around us, the vast majority of people get in one every day, be it on the way to school or work. We depend on vehicles to transport us to where we need to be as well as to keep us safe, because humans were not designed to be travelling as fast as vehicles do, the maximum speed recorded by a sprinter is 44.72 km/h by Usain Bolt and of course most people could not ever reach a speed anywhere close to that. So it is understandable that there are risks associated with driving well over that speed. So to combat that vehicles are equipped with many safety features including airbags, seatbelts, safety glass, anti-locking braking systems and of course, Crumple zones. The crumple zone in a car is built in such a way that it will help reduce the potential harm of a collision to the vehicle's passengers.

Traction control: Improves the stability of the car during rapid acceleration. Electronic stability control: Aids in steering under frantic or extreme conditions, such as sliding in snow or on ice. Vehicle weight: A heavier car means less force is absorbed by occupants in a crash, making it safer than a lighter model. Air bags: Front and side air bags protect against occupants making impact with the windshield, steering wheel, dash and side door or oncoming vehicle.

Powerboat racing is very popular in America, Europe, Middle East and Asia. The UIM ( Union Internationale Motonautique) leads the racing in Europe, Middle East and Asia. In America, the racing is lead by APBA/UIM. The racing is mostly financed by commercial sponsors and private funding. Even when this sport is fun, it also involves physics in many ways.

First and foremost, the hybrid car should be preferred to standard car because it is environmentally friendly. Environmental friendly means do not harm to the environment and this can be explained when it works on twin powered engine which are used to reduce the pollution. Basically, most of the experts say that the electric engine is used for lower speed and gasoline engine is used for higher speeds. The hybrid car not only consumes less fuel but it also produces less amount of carbon dioxide emission. The hybrid car runs on twin powered engine like gasoline and electric motor that cut fuel consumption, reduce air pollution and conserves more energy (Rinkesh, 2009).

The cars were also heavy compared to the human weight and as a result could crush the driver if he went straight into a wall. To make it even worse the fuel line may cut and the fire will start burning. The first ever crash recorded was in the year 1919. As a result to this lack of safety there were a lot of tragedies in the racing history. There were more than 35 fatalities from 1953 until today in formula 1 only, some more gruesome than the others.
