Reference Point
In angular momentum, the point in space around which the motion of an object is described. The angular momentum of an object is defined in relation to some point, the reference point. The velocity and radius of an object are measured from the reference point.
Brake failure
Brake failure can happen. Drum brakes are more commen to fail. Modern dual-circuit brake systems have made total brake failure an unlikely event. If one side of the circuit fails, the other side is usually sufficient to stop a vehicle.

Momentum
The mass of an object multiplied by its velocity. It is a vectored quantity with both magnitude and direction.
Interrogatories
Written questions developed by one party's attorney for the opposing party.
Linear Momentum
A quantity associated with the motion of an object along a straight path. The linear momentum of an object is defined to be equal to its mass times its velocity.
Velocity
Speed and direction; used to describe a mode of functioning which is efficient and tightly aligned with conscious intention.
Cause of action
A legal claim. Certificate under penalty of perjury - A written statement, certified by the maker as being under penalty of perjury.
