Active Physics Textbook: Eisenkraft, 3rd Edition
Chapter 1: Driving the roads
Chapter Challenge: The challenge for this chapter is to demonstrate your knowledge of the physics of driving by making a presentation to a board of driving instructors. The instructors will evaluate your knowledge in both an oral and written presentation on the physics of speed and velocity, reaction time and its impact on braking distances, safe following distances, and decision making at yellow-light intersections. |
Chapter 2: Physics in Action |
Chapter 3: Safety
Chapter Challenge: Your design team will develop a safety system for protecting automobile, airplane, bicycle, motorcycle, or train passengers during a collision. To illustrate this safety system, you will design and build a prototype safety system to protect an egg in a moving cart that undergoes a collision. This prototype will then be tested to see how effectively it protects the egg.
