Explain why a high-speed collision might cause more damage to vehicles then a low- speed collision?

because the high speed collision has more energy that it is using when the damage is occuring love Shanika L. Jackson♥


Explain why a high-speed collision betwwn two cars wodl cause more damage than a low-speed collision between the same cars?

EK=.5mv(squared)The faster something is moving, the more energy it is considered to have. When two objects collided, that energy doesn't just go away, it needs to be transformed or transfered, and that is exactly what happens.When 2 vehicles collide, the kinetic energy they had is used to bend metal, create heat, and do other destructive things. The faster the cars are moving, the more energy they have, and the more energy for destruction they have.


Explain why a high-speed collision between two cars would cause more damage than a low-speed collision between the same two cars?

A high speed collision between two cars would cause more damage than a low speed collision between the same two cars because they have more kinetic energy as their velocity increases. The greater the kinetic energy upon impact, the greater the resultant damage.


Explain why a glass pane is shattered when a flying pebble hits it?

The flying peeble imparts momentum(force * time) to the pane during collision and as glass is a amorphous solid,it donot have cleavage property and gets shattered


Suppose a train car in moving down the track at 10ms hits another train car that is not moving explain how momentum is conserved after the collision?

Conservation of Momentum:The total momentum in a closed or isolated system remains constant. If the two trains are moving as one after the collision, and were the same mass M each, the total momentum before and after the collision would be the same, ccording to the law. Before the collision, the momentum (velocity times mass) was 10 x M units (one train) which must now be the same but applied to two trains (2M) moving as one body. The Conservation of Momentum rule, will tell you that the new moving body, being twice the mass, would be moving half the velocity to conserve the momentum from before the collision.

What is an easy way to explain a collision domain?

Data packets colliding with one another when being sent through repeaters is an easy way to explain a collision domain. This collision only includes a section of a network.

What is compresive auto insurance?

Comprehensive coverage is easier to explain by explaining collision first. Collision is physical damage coverage if you hit something or turn the vehicle over. Comprehensive is most everything else including fire, theft, vandalism, broken glass, and all animal collisions.
