a kind of pressure
So, I’m doing this dynamics problem, right? It’s about the collision of two autos, one poor-sap driver had a stall and the other driver simply wasn’t paying attention. The skid marks prior to the collision point are about 50 feet long. There is some more information about the highway properties and the weights of the autos, and with this I am supposed to find out whether the moving driver was speeding (above 55 miles per hour).
Not so bad. It will take a while to calculate, but it’s feasible. So, I grab my grey matter and get moving with the pencil.
There I go, calculating how much destruction there was at this accident scene. I hope paramedics were quick in responding, just as an aside.
Alright, and ok, so let me convert this value into miles per hour and prior to the accident the moving car was traveling…
..approximately… 204 miles per hour.
Yeah.
He was speeding, alright.
