Collision

It was created so that it would reduce damage in a motor vehicle collision. Crash attenuators are designed to absorb energy from the crash of the vehicle and to redirect a vehicle away from something dangerous or to keep cars on the road. Crash attenuators are usually placed near freeways, bridges, race tracks and temporary…

home game, it’s actually an intense full contact sport that puts players at risk to high-end injuries and needs to be banned due to it being such a dangerous sport. A helmet-to-helmet collision is when two players make head-to-head contact with a high amount of force. There are a number of helmet-to-helmet collisions resulting in head injuries that results in having a concussion that leads to brain damage, cognitive impairment, or even death. As of the Researchers at the National Center for…

of sensors that give the car a 360-degree view of the conditions surrounding the car. These sensors can determine if the car in front of you is braking or if there is a car in your blind spot. They also can provide parking assistance and active collision prevention. The automotive industry has named these type of sensors V2V or vehicle-to-vehicle systems. At some level, V2V systems are already in most high-end cars and are proving to be quite effective. The Google Prius operates with a…

Its compact frame, sporty looks, and exceptional fuel economy are among the standout features of the 2017 Lexus CT200h, the smallest of five Lexus hybrid models. The front-wheel drive CT is mechanically similar to the previous-generation Toyota Prius, but this four-door hatchback wears its Lexus badge well. Offering room for up to five, the 2017 Lexus CT200h is powered by a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine, and two electric motors. Power is sent to the front wheels by a continuously variable…

In 1976, the California Supreme Court ruled in the case of Tarasoff v. Regents of the University of California that a patient’s right to confidentiality “ends where the public peril begins.” It was decided that doctor-patient confidentiality could—and should—be broken if the doctor believes a patient will cause serious harm to another person. In his article entitled “A Defense of Unqualified Medical Confidentiality,” Kenneth Kipnis argues that doctor-patient confidentiality should always be kept…

the reactants to collide. This contact area increases the likelihood of successful collisions, leading to a higher reaction rate and greater gas production. Additionally, it is important to note that temperature also plays a significant role in the reaction rate, with higher temperatures providing more energy to the molecules, increasing their kinetic energy and collision frequency. This higher energy and collision frequency further contribute to a higher reaction rate and increased gas…

As one empire rises another falls and such a cycle is not one that is likely to end, after all, playing nicely will lead to death. However, while physical empires may fade, spiritual ones remain behind. They stick in our minds and move through the ages, partially forgotten, and touch our everyday actions and choices, as well as our changing cultures and ideologies. They bind us to our past and remind us of how different we are, creating boundaries where there previously had been none. Their…

immensely with car accident occurrences. Being Aware The third thing I could have done to avoid the accident was to be aware of my surroundings. If I had stopped to think for only a moment and actually took in my surroundings, I could have avoided the collision. Being aware of what is going on around oneself when they drive is so important. A lot of accidents happen because people don’t pay attention and are in their own little world. Taking a moment before driving to recognize possible…

parent asteroid may have been we would first need to know if the composition of the asteroid in our sample was consistent throughout. If there are obvious lines separating the two materials then it can be assumed that this asteroid is the result of a collision between two other asteroids. However, if it is consistent throughout then it would have taken much larger forces to create that kind of mixture: enough heat to melt the original two asteroids and enough pressure to form them without…

In Alison Pearce Stevens’ “Soccer: Watch Out for Collisions” article out of Student Science is proving that head balls might not be the main cause of brain injuries in the game. In soccer, there is one major rule: no using arms or hands. As the ball floats through the air, the only other way to make contact with it and change its direction is to use his or her head. People have come to believe these head balls are the main cause of most concussions in soccer. Several sports organizations have…
