Crumple Zone I choose to look at the crumple zone in cars for my technological device and briefly touch upon seat belts in cars and air bags. The crumple zone in my own words is a zone built in an automobile to compress when an accident occurs. This was built to absorb “deformation” energy from the impact. The other reason it was built‚ which is more common is to reduce the deaths in car accidents. Crumple zones are mostly located in the front of a car and this will absorb the energy from “head

Mechanics Extra Credit Essay An incredible automobile safety feature that makes accidents more survivable is the crumple zone of a car. Crumple zones absorb a good amount of the kinetic energy associated with the crash‚ which does not transfer to the occupant. Parts of the crumple zone include the hood‚ bumpers‚ bumper shock absorbers‚ and quarter panels. Typically‚ crumple zones are located in the front part of the vehicle‚ in order to absorb the impact of a head-on collision‚ though they may

Crumple zones are one of the greatest innovations made with cars to protect the passengers in the event of an auto accident. Crumple zones cause impulse‚ or the change in momentum when an object acts on by a force for a certain amount of time. Though first‚ we need to know why crumple zones were made. An average of almost 1.3 million people die from nearly 5.5 million car accidents around the world annually. Along with this 20-50 million people are either injured or disabled in the wrecks. This

The crumple zone is a structural feature in which can be mostly found in automobiles. They are constructed to absorb the kinetic energy from impact during an accident by controlled deformation. In order to absorb the impact of a head on collision‚ most of the time crumple zones are designed to be in the front part of a vehicle‚ they can also be found on the rear and sides of vehicles. Isaac Newton’s first law states that an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless

cars are relatively large and are made out of soft materials. This allows them to crumple to a controllable size when the car crashes into something with a large amount of force. Crumple zones also redistribute the force of impact as most of the impacting energy is spent on destroying the hood of the car. Thus‚ almost all of the energy is used up before it hits the passengers. The next paragraph will explain the physics behind crumple

A Bug’s Life – Text Analysis Synopsis: A Bug’s Life is a 1998 computer-animated Disney/Pixar movie. Inspired by the fable "The Ant and the Grasshopper" and the classic samurai film The Seven Samurai‚ it tells the story of an outcast inventor ant named Flick who recruits a group of circus bugs he mistakes for warriors when his colony is threatened by a gang of grasshoppers for their annual feast. The purpose of A Bug’s Life: The reason I have chosen this film text it because its purpose expresses

Within Richard Preston’s‚ The Hot Zone‚ the very real threats posed by the deadly viruses of Marburg and Ebola Reston is brought to attention through the “terrifying true story”. In the first chapter‚ Charles Monet is introduced as a man with a little too much free time and works at the pump house at the sugar factory within near the base of Mt. Elgon. One day in 1980‚ he takes a female friend to Kitum Cave‚ and it is believed that this is the day he caught the Marburg virus. The first symptoms include

Life in the intertidal zone can be very challenging for creatures who live there. The amount of factors that weigh down upon your quality of life are insurmountable. These factors include extreme fluctuations in temperature‚ altered salinity‚ predators‚ changing tide levels‚ and inconsistent feeding opportunities. Regardless of all these challenges the creatures who live there find a way to adapt and survive against all these challenges. Here are a few examples of creatures who have found interesting

Now Truman was even more arrogant‚ and as a result‚ it made Stalin even more determined to get his way. The third reason is that as a result of Churchill’s Iron Curtain Speech‚ the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Aid‚ Stalin had responded to these by forcing communism on Eastern Europe‚ then Comecon and Cominform
