A piece of important information survived the past decade unscathed.
At the time we were all beginning to drive and she used a physics question to hammer home a more serious point.
The question posed to the class was,
"If you are traveling sixty miles per hour on the highway and look down for 2 seconds to change the radio station, how far have you travelled while NOT looking at the road?"
Working out the exact solution to the equation would be tedious, boring, and not nearly Important as the question itself.
I'm a better driver Today because of it.
I 'like' this.
ReplyDeletepretty easy equation... if you would travel 60 miles in one hour you would travel one mile in one minute... if you look down for 2 seconds, or 1/30th of a minute you would, based on your speed, have travelled 1/30th of 5,280, or 176 feet.
