Aplicação da física na prevenção de acidentes de trânsito: estratégias para redução de impactos e aumento da segurança veicular

Abstract

One of the main causes of tragic deaths that occur in Brazil comes from traffic accidents, these causes represent a serious public health problem. The increase in traffic accidents and the intensity of impacts are related to excessive speed on the part of drivers; that is, the higher the speed, the greater the chances of collisions occurring, and consequently, the intensity of the impacts will be greater. This work aims to create booklets, which are informative and educational materials that present the content covered in a light and dynamic way. The use of this material aims to promote students' understanding of physical concepts so that they can relate them to the real world. The expectation is that the booklets will contribute to improving students' understanding of physical concepts, making physics teaching more relevant and meaningful for them and thus providing an educational way to prevent traffic accidents
