Additional Information / Summary:

Kennedy's earlier companion work-Conservation of Linear Momemtum Using Vector Sum Analysis-presented a graphical solution of two-vehicle collisions that require application of momentum. This manual brings you the mathematical solution to such collisions. Kennedy reduces the trek through a complex topic to a series of simple steps using the 360 degree method of angle measurement and illustrates every step with an easy-to-understand diagram. You will learn how the speed-at-impact formulas are derived, what information is required for their use, and how they can be applied to a variety of situations to solve for the precollision speed of each accident vehicle. Also dicussed: vehicle dynamics in collisions and lays the groundwork for eventual advanced study of momentum. Six practical momentum problems(solutions on separate page) enable testing of comprehension. Excellent manual for learners and experts.
