What is collision potential and closing potential?
Collision potential and closing potential have to do with physics. These terms are in reference to how fast atoms collide with each other and the result of the collision. The faster the atoms are moving the greater the closing potential.
How does your speed affect a collision?
When traveling at a higher rate of speed you will have more force in case of collision.
Is it true that airbags will deploy in a head on collision but not in a collision from an angle?
True
What is elastic and inelastic collision?
In an elastic collision, no kinetic energy is lost, and the relative speed of separation of the objects after the collision is the same as the relative speed before the collision. In an inelastic collision, part of the elastic energy is lost, and the relative speed after the collision is less.
Why would a high-speed collision between two cars cause more damage than a low-speed collision between two cars?
There is more kinetic energy involved in the case of a high-speed collision.
In a head on collision what is the combined closing speed of 2 people going 55 mph?
110 mph
In a head-on collision where both cars are traveling at 55 mph the combined closing speed would equal?
The bigger the tire and heavier the car the car will slide in slippery road conditions
Follow the four Rs Read Right Reduce and Ride when?
When you are in a situation that might lead to a head on collision. Read the road ahead. Reduce your speed. Drive to the Right. Ride off the road if necessary.
What is collision potential and closing potential?
Collision potential and closing potential have to do with physics. These terms are in reference to how fast atoms collide with each other and the result of the collision. The faster the atoms are moving the greater the closing potential.
When was Head on Collision created?
Head on Collision was created in 2001.
How does your speed affect a collision?
When traveling at a higher rate of speed you will have more force in case of collision.
The worst type of collision to be in is a?
Head-On
A Mack truck and a Mini Cooper traveling at the same speed have a head-on collision The vehicle to undergo the greatest change in velocity will be the?
mini cooper
Is it true that airbags will deploy in a head on collision but not in a collision from an angle?
True
What is elastic and inelastic collision?
In an elastic collision, no kinetic energy is lost, and the relative speed of separation of the objects after the collision is the same as the relative speed before the collision. In an inelastic collision, part of the elastic energy is lost, and the relative speed after the collision is less.
Why a high speed collision between two cars would cause more damage than low speed collision between the same two cars?
There's more force exerted in the high speed collision.
Why would a high-speed collision between two cars cause more damage than a low-speed collision between two cars?
There is more kinetic energy involved in the case of a high-speed collision.
