Physics of Car Collisions
Abstract
Being aware of the physics behind collisions, specifically in cars, is important due to the intensity of collisions that are seen on the roads today. Sir Isaac Newton was the first man to explain what happens in a collision. He proposed the idea that “an object will continue in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it”. This theory is better known as Newton’s First Law of Motion, or the Law of Inertia which I include in my slides and my paper. In addition to Newton's laws, the different types of collisions also plays a key role in car collisions as they relate to the the state of passengers. The concepts of static and kinetic friction are also important to know when trying to understand collisions as it introduces the effects of surface area on one or more objects, where in this case, its cars. Newton's laws, different types of collisions and friction will all be included in my research and you can find an in dept presentation of them in my Work Cited page.

Abstract: Summarize research findings
"An abstract summarizes, usually in one paragraph of 300 words or less, the major aspects of the entire paper in a prescribed sequence that includes: 1) the overall purpose of the study and the research problem(s) you investigated; 2) the basic design of the study; 3) major findings or trends found as a result of your analysis; and, 4) a brief summary of your interpretations and conclusions."
