When facing a head-on collision you need to immediately.?

Drive to the right of the shoulder


When facing a head-on collision you need to what immediately.?

Steer towards the shoulder of the road (in the US, that is the right side).


Is it possible to have a collision in which all of the kinetic energy is lost?

A car driving into a very large rock. A collosion where all the things colliding (in the example the car and the rock) are no longer moving after the collision is one where all the kentic energy is lost. K.E. = 1/2 * m * v2 If v=0 then there is no kinetic energy.


Need an explanation why kinetic energy is always conserved during elastic collision what is meant by conserved?

In this context "conserved" means the total kinetic energy of all the objects is the same after the collision as before the collision. Note, the TOTAL is the same but the individual kinetic energies of each object may be different before and after. When two or more objects are about to collide they have a certain total kinetic energy. It is common that during the collision some of the kinetic energy is transformed into heat. So after the collision the total kinetic energy is less then before the collision. This is a non-elastic collision. There are some collisions, however, in which none of the kinetic energy is changed to heat. These are called ELASTIC collisions. So the total kinetic energy doesn't change, or is "conserved". There is another possible non-elastic collision. If during the collision there is an explosion, then its possible for the objects to have a larger total kinetic energy after the collision as they aquire some of the explosive energy. Finally note, that in all collisions the TOTAL vector momentum is the same just before and just after the collision. So in a collision momentum is always conserved.


What would have happened to the gas if the molecular collisions were not elastic?

In an inelastic collision, part of the kinetic energy is absorbed by the colliding objects, and converted into heat. For an inelastic collision to occur between molecules, the energy would need to be absorbed at some lower level.

You have coolant getting into your oil how?

You have a blown head gasket or a cracked head. STOP driving this car immediately or you will do serious damage to the engine. It will need the gasket replaced and the head checked.You have a blown head gasket or a cracked head. STOP driving this car immediately or you will do serious damage to the engine.

What are the signs of bad tires?

You need new tires of the tread is wore down to the base of tire. put a nickel between the treads. head facing toward the tire. if the tread is not touching the head you really need new ones. if in the rain or snow u have trouble staying on the road. that is bad too.


How do you stop a mercury grand marquise from smoking?

Depends on the color of the smoke. White Smoke indicates a Blown Head Gasket and needs service immediately. Blue or Black Smoke indicates that you need to replace the rings. Basically to rework the head of the engine.
