 Car Crash Car crash (traffic collision) causes injury, damage or even death. It occurs when a moving motor vehicle collides with either another moving object or a stationary object. The risk of a  traffic collision occurring is determined by the following factors which also influence the physics of a car crash: vehicle design, road design, driving skills of the driver, speed of the motor vehicle before impact, road environment, level of psychological impairment (caused by alcohol  consumption or substance abuse) and behavioral disposition like street racing and speeding  (Bartley, 2008). Physics of a Car Crash The physics of collision describe the process and outcome of a car crash. As stated  earlier, the motor vehicle before crashing was in motion. Newton’s laws of motion do aid in  understanding the physics of traffic collision.  Laws of Motion Newton’s first law of motion states that a stationary object remains stationary if no  external force is applied to the object. It also states that a moving object would remain in motion  at a constant velocity if no external force is applied to it (Field, 2015). Therefore, a stationary  object on the road would remain stationary if no external force is applied. Also, a moving car  would travel in constant velocity if no external force is applied. Newton’s second law of motion deals with objects in motion. It states that the rate of  acceleration is directly proportional to the combined net force involved and also inversely  CAR CRASH 3 proportional to the mass of the object (Field, 2015). Thus, it can be deduced that force is the  product of mass and the rate of acceleration. Newton’s third law of motion deals with collision. It states that when two objects, A and  B, collide; the force that is exerted by object A onto object B is of equal magnitude but in  opposite direction to the force exerted by Object B onto Object A (Field, 2015). Thus, an action  has an equal reaction albeit in opposite direction. Kinetic and Static Friction Another important concept in traffic collision is friction. Friction is the force which  resists motion when two objects contact each other. Different materials have different levels of  friction, thus, each material has its coefficient of friction. For motion to occur when Object A is  resting on the ground, the applied force must be greater than the normal force of Object A and  the force of friction. Static friction keeps two objects from moving away from each other, and  force greater in magnitude than the static friction must be applied to cause the two objects to  slide on each other, and this force must be applied constantly. This force is defined as kinetic  friction (Popov, 2010). The concept of static and kinetic friction applies to automobiles when they are driving on  wet roads. The values of static and kinetic coefficient of friction in a dry road are 1.00 and 0.80  respectively. Similar values for a wet road are 0.60 for static and 0.40 for kinetic coefficient of  friction. That implies that wet roads are more slippery than dry roads. Also, considering  Newton’s second and third laws of motion, the driver must drive at a slower speed as compared  to dry roads so as to be able to decelerate safely when negotiating corners as well as ensure that  CAR CRASH 4 the vehicle can come to a stop at a distance which is safe for other road users. The equation  which is used to calculate the braking distance is shown below (Popov, 2010). d = V2 / 2gµ  where; d is the braking distance V is the initial speed of the vehicle (in meters per second) g is the acceleration caused by gravity, and its affixed value is 9.80 meters per second squared µ is the co­efficient of (kinetic or static) friction between the road and the tyre. From the above equation, it can be noted that if the velocity of the vehicle is doubled;  … Read more
