Automobile safety - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Automobile safety is the study and practice of design, construction, equipment and regulation to minimize the occurrence and consequences of automobile accidents. Road traffic safety more broadly includes roadway design. One of the first formal academic studies into improving vehicle safety was by Cornell Aeronautical Labs of Buffalo, New York. The main conclusion of their extensive report is the crucial importance of seat belts and padded dashboards.[1] However, the primary vector of traffic-related deaths and injuries is the disproportionate mass and velocity of an automobile compared to that of the predominant victim, the pedestrian.[citation needed] In the United States a pedestrian is injured by an automobile every 8 minutes, and are 1.5 times more likely than a vehicle's occupants to be killed in an automobile crash per outing.[2]

      In the cars you need to be safe and they are made like that for a reason so that you are safe and for the system inside the car is safe. A lot of persons have been dead for the cause of trafic because they get too much desperate that they try to go fast but they crash, thats why they had decided to make sit belts. The system inside the car is really little and thats why the car has a lot of things around it and the car is made like that for a reason like an oval so that they crash them with the car is suposed to not happen anything.

How the Eye Sees Color - 0 views

  • Color originates in light. Sunlight, as we perceive it, is colorless. In reality, a rainbow is testimony to the fact that all the colors of the spectrum are present in white light. As illustrated in the diagram below, light goes from the source (the sun) to the object (the apple), and finally to the detector (the eye and brain).

      Eyes see in a different way that in reality. Like for example white makes all the colors of the rainbow, so the rainbow is actually white but we see it in colors. The sun is actually yellow but we see it a little white.

  • Once underway, Columbus benefited from calm seas and steady winds that pushed him steadily westward (Columbus had discovered the southern "Trades" that in the future would fuel the sailing ships carrying goods to the New World). However, the trip was long, longer than anticipated by either Columbus or his crew. In order to mollify his crew's apprehensions, Columbus kept two sets of logs: one showing the true distance traveled each day and one showing a lesser distance. The first log was kept secret. The latter log quieted the crew's anxiety by under-reporting the true distance they had traveled from their homeland.
