An automobile has a head-on collision. A passenger in the car experiences a compression injury to the brain. Is this injury most likely to be in the front or rear portion of the brain? Explain.
As one gets out of an automobile, he sometimes gets a “shock” when he touches the car. Why is this? Is it likely to happen during rainy days? Why?
this is not the actual problem it is just the practice one, I just need a step by step on how to solve it because my teacher did not really teach this in class. thank you for any help you are able to provide.
