Homework Statement
Watch the crash test video , and determine the following:
1. How fast is one of the crash test dummies thrown forward (the crash at :34 seconds) ? Pick either one, and be clear how you estimate this.
2. Assuming the speed you got from part (1), how high would a different dummy, specifically the one thrown nearly straight up (and out of sight), go if thrown at that speed?
3. Find a way of estimating the actual height achieved by this crash test dummy (the one thrown vertically, out of sight). Since the only scene where this one lands is in slow-motion ( :34) you will have to find a way to calibrate the timing with other scenes shown in real time.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm lost! I think I should make a speed time plot but how should I calibrate for slow motion in the crash at 34 seconds? Help Please!
