What job did you find that realated to chapter 6?

A person who works for the National Safety Concil. They test car collision to see at what speeds you can hit an car and still walk away but, just estimates. They say that when two cars collide head-on at 100 km/h is same amout of kinetic enegry as to being dropped from the roof of a 12-story building.

I did a high school physics teacher. They help students understand this branch of science both in the classroom and in the so-called real world. They can teach any number of students a day depending on the school. They take care of the lab and equipment, which is sometimes difficult but neccesary. In addition, physics teachers have to attend training sessions to stay current in the field.

I did the Autoliv Australia Test Centre. They help in providing test equipment as well as a lab to do the expirments. They help in giving safe and reliable seat belts to the consumers.

I did a physicist because obviously they work with physics. There are many different branches off of physics though. Some focus on astronomy, chemicals, or matter. Many physicists want to figure out why something is the way it is. This takes many years of school and many years of research, but some of the biggest men in history were physicists such as Robert Hooke and Sir Isaac Newton.

I found the job of an industrial designer to relate to the topics that we are relating to dealing with chapter six in our physics book. A person in this field of study deals with the structures of many things, but in the case that i used the designer worked with car frames. Using physics to understand the limits of the materials and the limits of the different types of structures of a car frame, i was able to understand that an industrial designer uses much science in his or her day-to-day job to do it best and to keep the public safe during thier time on the road.

I found that a Transportation Safety Consultant is in charge of testing and inspecting seatbelts as well as many other parts of a car before it is put onto the market. This relates to Chapter 6 because they have to engineer against physics. They try and make seatbelts the safest and most effective against the momentum of a car crashing. Their job is to produce a seat belt that minimizes the momentum's force on the body when a crash occurs.
