Warren: The Physics in safe driving, by Samantha, Kenzie, Tresa, and me, warren.

We should be able to drive your new car because we not only understand the laws but the physics behind them and why they are in place. slide ! and "# Sam: $ollowing distance, total stopping distance and reasons slide % and &# Tresa: reaction time is the time it ta'es to respond to a situation, reaction time is one of the factors that effect bra'ing distance, following distance, and stopping distance. Physics will give you a better understanding of what to do behind the wheel the e(uation is )*!+"at s(uared# ,easurement errors and accuracy.. there is -.W-/S a error in measurement. 0ut being both accurate and precise helps behind the wheel. 1f not it2s the difference of life and death. slides 3 and 4# Kenzie: 5andom and Systematic 6rror and -verage speed, following distance, and models slides 4 and 7# Sam: yellow light, go zone, stop zone, overlap zone and dilemma zone. slide 8# Warren: 9egative acceleration is change in velocity over time. This happens when a car is slowing down but moving forward or can be speeding up but going bac'wards. slide !:# Kenzie: speed friction and radius of a curve slide !!# Tresa: ;entripetal force is a force directed toward the center to 'eep the ob<ect moving in a circular path. When you go around a curve in the vehicle your body feels a pull to go straight because all things want to move straight but centripetal force pulls you to in a circle. slide !"#

Warren: 9ow we have showed you we understand physics behind driving so may we borrow your new car please= With love, sam, 'enzie, tresa and me.
