    2017-Varanis-Mereles-Mathematical Model of a Vehicle Crash A Case Study
    The model proposed in this paper allows one to obtain the parameters of the system, and then compare them with the ones obtained experimentally to test the suitability of the model with the vehicle crash.

    Using Newton's Second Law of motion we can determine the time it takes for a mass to slide along a chord of a vertical circle from high point to any point along the circle. Initially, the result is nonintuitive and challenging to understand.
