What will car absorb the energy and forces of the crash?
A car absorbs the energy and force of a crash in the crumple zone.
How is energy transferred in a crash?
The energy in a crash can be transferred in a variety of ways. The most significant way is through mechanical and physical deformation. In a head on collision between two cars, the energy travels through the front of each car, crumpling the metal and machinery. Energy can then be transferred in the form of heat. Although this energy isn't as significant as mechanical energy, during the moment of impact there will be a trace amount of heat created through the scraping of metal. Energy is also transferred through sound waves. When two vehicles collide, the sound of the scraping metal is the transfer of some of the energy through the air.
Why that the car is an ex of kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is "moving energy". A car moves, it has kinetic energy. In the case of a car crash the energy is released-->smash/bang!!!
Is energy transferred to earth by moving vehicles?
yes, but as the directions of all the car is random the net energy transferred is probably so close to zero it doesn't matter.
What types of energy goes into a car?
chemical energy
What forces act during car crash test?
Momentum, kinetic energy
What from of energy is used in a car?
there are alot of types of energy in a car. you have mechanical, chemical, electrical.
How does a hybrid conserve energy?
In a hyrid car, when you brake the energy that is used is transferred back into electricity instead of totally lost as heat energy.
What energy is kinetic energy changed to in a car crash?
Potential energy than heat, sound and, of course, there is a loss in potential energy of broken materials...
How much of the chemical energy in the fuel of a petrol car is transferred to kinetic energy?
It varies from zero (idling) to a max of 38 % ... but the average is about 20 %.
What types of energy is being used in a car?
None
What if your parents car is in the garage if the car is not runnig what two types of energy does it have?
Potential.
