Math and Science In Public Safety Review

  1. What is the definition for mathematics? Mathematics simply means to learn and study of numbers and how they work.

  2. What type of math is used for investigating an accident and explain how it is used? Algebra is the type of math used to investigate accidents. This algebraic formula is used to calculate the driver's speed prior to the collision. S=15.9 R(f e)/2 where S is the vehicle's speed before impact, f is the coefficient of friction, e is the road elevation, and R is the radius of the yaw mark.

  3. What is the primary job of an accident investigator? Investigators examine skid marks and take photos or sketches of evidence found to help them recreate the accident and write their report. An accident reconstructionist use all of the evidence, interviews, and measurements collected at the scene to reconstruct the event.

  4. What are the 4 steps for performing an effective accident investigation? Provide first aid and/or medical care to those who have been injured. Next report the accident in accordance with your company's policies. Investigate the accident as soon as possible following its occurrence. This includes recording all the evidence and makes crime scene sketches to determine the accident's causes/who is at fault.

  5. What type of math is used to measure blood splatters? Trigonometry is used by blood spatter analysts, for example, to study how blood from a human injury splatters on a wall or other surface.

  6. What is the definition for science? Science is the observation and experimentation-based study of the physical and natural world.

  7. What are 3 things we discussed that involves using science? be specific Fingerprints, Breathalyzer (Sobriety), and DNA.

  8. What are the 3 duties of a Forensic Scientist? Responding to crime scenes to conduct assessments and investigations. Photographing and videotaping crime scenes. Making notes while identifying and collecting physical evidence.
