How does the motion of the gas molecules change?

Gas molecules change their motion when they bounce into the surfaces of their containers. If the surfaces absorb the impact, then energy is transfered out of the system and particle speed decreases.


Are vehicles designed with both plastic and elastic values to absorb energy forces in a manner that will reduce the direct forces that reach the vehicle occupants?

Yes, vehicles are designed with both plastic and elastic values to absorb energy forces in a manner that will reduce the direct forces that reach the vehicle occupants. The plastic materials are designed to absorb the initial impact of a collision, while the elastic materials are designed to absorb the remaining energy from the collision and dissipate it over a longer period of time. This two-step process helps to reduce the overall force that is transferred to the occupants of the vehicle.


How can I keep a raw egg from cracking using only straws and tape?

Assuming that you are going to drop the egg from various heights, this can be accomplished by creating a larger shell around the egg to absorb the impact. Try to create as large of a cocoon as possible for the egg as your main problem is to stop the egg from directly taking the impact.

The amount of energy absorbed by a vehicle in an impact is realted to what?

Absorbed might be a poor word as a vehicle can only absorb so much energy, some will change the direction of movement, and so on.The things we need to look at are:the speed of the impact (this is the answer you are looking for)The speed and direction of the vehicle after impactThe difference is the energy absorbed.
