Delta-V Problem -(40%)
Let's assume that the drag factor for post impact skid can't be trusted! Instead, on-board EDR information is available for vehicle 1:
Delta1x =+3.5 mph (vehicle x-axis)
Delta1y =-16.9 mph (vehicle y-axis)
Determine the following using the EDR data along with the scene information from the above diagram:
1. Magnitude of Delta V vector for vehicle 1 in mph.
2. PDOF for vehicle 1 in degrees - draw a diagram of vehicle 1 and show its PDOF.
3. Angle of Delta V vector for vehicle 1 in global X, Y axes as shown above, using X as reference and CCW being positive (draw a vector diagram to show your answer).
4. Impact speed of Vehicle 1.
