DETERMINATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF SKIDDED DISTANCE ON THE INITIAL VELOCITY USING THE ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES

Several studies were conducted on the accidents of cars using the fundamental principles of physics and engineering including Newton’s Laws of Motion and First Law of Thermodynamics. The objective of this study is to determine the influence of skidded distance on the initial velocity. Excellent correlation coefficient was found for the relationship at α = 0.05 significance level.
