Paragraph 1:
Introduction: explaining the basics of the physics on car accidents and opening details on what the bod paragraphs will be about.
Next paragraph: Explain newtons laws
I will then relate each law of motion to the parts of a car collision.
Static and kinetic friction (explain the difference and how they apply to car collisions
