What percentage of pedestrians are killed at 30 mph?

If you hit a pedestrian: at 40 mph there is a 90 percent chance they will be killed. at 35 mph there is a 50 percent chance they will be killed. at 30 mph there is a 20 percent chance they will be killed.

Can you survive a 60 mph crash?

As long as you’re in a safe, modern car, wearing your seat-belt, the odds of surviving such a crash are very high. Definitely greater than 90\%.

Is it possible to survive head-on collision?

If either car in an accident is traveling faster than 43 mph, the chances of surviving a head-on crash plummet. Even at 70 mph, your chances of surviving a head-on collision drop to 25 percent.

Can you survive a 20 mph car crash?

The average pedestrian struck by a driver traveling at 20 mph has a 93 percent chance of surviving. For a 70-year-old, the chances are somewhat lower but still a robust 87 percent.

Can you survive a hit and run?

Hit-and-run crashes quite often happen in an instant – the consequence of speeding, drink-driving or simply carelessness. But the damage to those injured in these often fleeting situations can last a lifetime. Three people describe what it’s like to survive a hit-and-run.

Is it possible to survive a head on collision?

How long is considered an instant death?

Anything less than 2 minutes (2 minutes is a moment) is considered an “instant death” in official reports and newspapers.

Is there a fastest and slowest speed?

It’s interesting to think that there may be a fastest speed and no slowest speed, when our intuition gives us the opposite inclination. The slowest speed possible with respect to your reference frame is achieved by you, regardless of special relativity.

Is there a slowest possible velocity for matter?

So for matter it depends on the frame of reference what speed you attribute to it. So it makes me wonder, is there a slowest possible velocity? A speed of zero is perfectly legal for matter, as you can attach a frame of reference to it it, where it rests. Light does not rest.

What is the slope of instantaneous acceleration at time t0?

In (Figure), instantaneous acceleration at time t0 is the slope of the tangent line to the velocity-versus-time graph at time t0. We see that average acceleration approaches zero. Also in part (a) of the figure, we see that velocity has a maximum when its slope is zero.
