What do you see?
the dummy in the second car is ejected from the car
the dummy in the first car stays in the car
the first car has more damage than the second car

a. Low speed- the guy flips out of the car and lands on the table
3
a. High speed- In the high speed collision the guy doesn't go as far as I thought he would. It wasn't as bad as I had expected
Part B

a. 9 and 1/4th inches
3
a. thin wire- the guy didn't fly out of the car but the seat belt dug into his body in several spots
thick wire- he stayed in the car, but the wire dug into his body in a few spots
ribbon- he stayed in place and the ribbon didn't do any damage to his body
b. The thin wire dug into his body in a few places and so did the thicker wire. Overall the best was the ribbon
4
a. The chest depressed 5cm and the whole body went forward
b. The head, chest, and torso
Physics Talk
There are 3 collisions within one accident
Newton's first law of motion can explain these three collisions when an automobile strikes a pole
First collision- The automobile strikes the pole. The pole exerts the force that brings the automobile to rest
Second collision- When the automobile stops, the body keeps moving. The structure of the automobile exerts the force that brings the organs to rest
Third collision- The body stops, but the heart, brain, and other organs keep moving. The body wall exerts the force that brings the organs to rest
force- an interaction between two objects that can result in an acceleration of either or both objects
pressure- force per area where the force is normal(perpendicular) to the surface; measured in N/m^2
force that is spread out over a given area
Checking Up
An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by a force
Because your body is going at the same speed as the car and when the body jerks forward all of the organs inside go forward as well
First collision- The automobile strikes the pole. The pole exerts the force that brings the automobile to rest. Second collision- When the automobile stops, the body keeps moving. The structure of the automobile exerts the force that brings the organs to rest Third collision- The body stops, but the heart, brain, and other organs keep moving. The body wall exerts the force that brings the organs to rest
Inertia- the natural tendency of an object to remain at rest or to remain moving with constant speed in a straight line
It covered more of the body and the thin wire dug into the clay person's body.

a. A vehicle in motion will stay in motion until an object acts against it.
b.
c. Your body and things in the car are going at the same speed as the car. When you make a stop the things in the car and your body jerk forward because they don't stop as fast
d. The seat belt keeps the passenger in the same spot and keeps them inside of the car
2. An automobile strikes a pole, and the pole exerts a force that brings the automobile to rest OR A person who is running with ear buds, when they stop running the ear buds fall out because they want to keep going at the speed the person is going

5. A wire seat belt would not be strong enough and could possibly hurt the person, a thicker one covers more surface area
6. I do think that seat belt laws are fair. They are put in place to help keep you safe in case of a bad car accident.
7.
a. "We aren't going far", "They are irritating"
b. They keep you in the car in case of a bad car accident where you could be ejected from the car.
8. Your head jerks forward but your brain wants to stay in the same spot

Section 3
What do you see?
two cars crashed into each other
the person in the red car smashed his face into the air bag
the red guy has his seat belt on, the person in the green car doesn't
What do you think?
the airbag takes away some of the force in the crash making it not as severe on the body
Investigate
3a. 4cm
4a. smashed at 24cm
5a. We dropped him from the same height and some of the rice came out of the dish, but he didn't crack
6a. 2.5cm
7a. From 24cm there is no damage to egg #2 because the rice broke its fall. Egg #2 finally broke at 70cm.

2a. The blue car kept going forward even after the red car hit it. The blue car went all the way off of the track
3.
a. The red car hit he blue car and the blue car went faster than it did before.
b. This time the red car continued to move after it hit the blue car
c. When two cars are driving and they get into a rear end collision
4.
a. The blue car with the extra weight went a lot slower and didn't go as far as without the weights
5.
a. the red car has a weight and takes longer to slow down
b. a larger car hitting a smaller car
c. no because it weighs less than the larger cart
