Physics experiment (1 Viewer)

Hey all,
I have this assessment task to do, and it's to answer the syllabus dot point from the Moving About module. The dot point is:
Gather and process first hand data and/or secondary information to analyse the potential danger presented by loose objects in a vehicle.
I have to make up an experiment to demonstrate this but have no idea what to do...does anyone out there have any ideas?

Help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

~Kat

i think the experiment is related to inertia... like if there was a loose object in the back of the car n the car was going really fast, then suddenly stops, the object would have the effect of inertia n fly to the front of the car beaking a window or something

umm
you could use
a ramp
a trolley
and a loose object, eg. a coin

and then yeh
make the trolley
travel at different velocities
and then abruptly stoppin it
by crashing it into something else
and then view the results

since this does have to do with car accidents right?
