Falling+objects

=Falling Objects= By Evett Hawks = = =Introduction:= In this section we talked about how people throwing trash and big objects over overpasses can effect the performance of drivers and sometimes lead to hasty movements which lead to car crashes. Please don't throw your garbage over an overpass because it is very dangerous to the drivers safety. Also very dangerous to you because It is illegal to do such and you could have to pay a fine or go to jail. = = =__**Scenario**__=

Zach was driving under and over pass when Slim decided he was bored and needed something to do. He spotted a car going under over pass. He throws a rock about the size of his head maybe bigger. The car is going 65 miles per hour. The overpass is about 14 ft. tall. Zach looks up and see's the object and starts to panic he slams on the brakes and ends up swerving to the right then stopping a minute after the rock hits the ground.

One of the teachers of science leadership academy friend's car was hit with a brick and almost got into the a crash from an overpass.



=__**Calculations**__= T standing For time which i am looking for in this problem.First thing you do is divide the height against how fast the rock goes Which is 9.8 then that should equal the time 14/9.8=T 14/9.8=1.42 T=1.42 = = =__How this can be avoided:__= Please do not throw your garbage or discard and item via overpass.this is why we have trash cans so this problem may be come smaller.Live are take through over passes and bridges from babies to puppies to puppies to people.boredom is not an excuse when it comes to death.
