car crashes

driving all day and cross over the yellow line and hit head on. Crash! The driver of car A has remained

inside the car and has broken ribs due to hitting the steering wheel. The driver of car B however is on the

hood of car A and is pronounced dead at the scene, cause of death, a severe case of disobeying the laws of

Although both cars were heading at the same velocity one driver ended up dead while another

survived. This seems like a complicated and hard thing to explain and to the untrained person it may seem

that driver A just had plain luck on his side however this is untrue. Using the knowledge of basic physics I

hope to explain why the outcome for each driver was different and could have been avoided.

Sir Isaac Newton was the first man to explain what happens in a collision even before automobiles

were invented. He proposed the idea that an object in motion will continue in motion with the same speed

and direction unless acted upon by an outside, unbalanced force. His theory is better known as the Law of

Inertia. The driver of car B was not wearing a seatbelt and as a result was not connec
