Topic #17 Postscript: Choices Related
to Modes of Transportation & the Laws of Motion [color pdf ]
December 2, 2010
In class today we did the following:
1. Dr H finished up Topic #17 with a "Postscript" presentation on the Laws of Motion as they relate to Automobiles
2. We then watched a 20 minute video:
"Understanding Car Crashes: It's Basic Physics" which included
the answers to the questions on pp. 98-99 of Class Notes.
Did you miss it, or did
the Understanding Car Crashes video go too fast for you to get down all
the answers?? Probably did!
So visit D2L and click on the VIDEO icon, then on:

Here's a link to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) featured in the video. -- Includes "crashworthiness" crash test ratings for vehicles and lots of other useful information about car safety.

3. Lastly, we had a whirlwind showing of the class Linking-to-Life Slide Show! (The slideshow will be posted in D2L for those who missed it -- look for it this weekend.)
