A Lesson in Physics—For Drivers A new word, “ tumability," has been coined by The Travel ers Insurance Company in an ef fort to picture for drivers just what happens in the higher brackets of speed. A page of the company’s new highway safety booklet entitled “Death Begins at 40” is headed “A Lesson in Physics for Drivers” and makes use of this term for the first time. “The first law of motion,” the booklet states, “is that a m ov driver’s “tumability” has been cut to one-ninth that when he was traveling at 25. If he tries to turn more sharply than this law o f physics allows, he is certain to turn over.” ing body tends to continue in uni form motion in a straight line. The energy of a moving body is in proportion to the square of its speed. “At 25 mile9 an hour, how ever, you can make a fairly sharp turn. A t 50 miles an hour, you can make only one-fourih us 6harp a turn as you could make at 25. This explains many acci dents in turning and passing at higher speeds. “And at 75 miles an hour, the Comelee of Ontario will preach next Sunday at 9:45. Sunday school will be held at 10:45.
