Why does a high speed crash cause more damage tha a low speed crash?

At high speeds, there is more kinetic energy involved - more energy that will be converted to other forms of energy. This includes breaking a car, or body parts of people involved.

Why would a high-speed collision between 2 cars cause more damage than a low-speed collision between the same 2 cars?
During the high-speed collsision, the cars would cause more kinetic energy than with a low collision. It would cause damage because there is a greater amount of force exerted in the high-speed collision.
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♥
Why a high speed collision may cause more damage than a low speed collision?
At higher speeds, there is more kinetic energy involved.
Explain why a high-speed collision may cause more damage to vehicles than a low-speed collision does?
More kinetic energy involved.
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.
How fast must a person be going for a crash to be considered a high speed crash?
A car-crash will be considered a high-speed crash when one or more of the cars involved is going 60 mph or faster. Any slower, and it is not considered high-speed.

What part of a car is damaged most in a car crash?
The most damaged is the body work and usually the bumper. In a slow speed crash only the outer body panels are normally damaged. These are easily replaced or repaired. In a high speed crash severe structural damage will be done requiring major repairs.
Why a high speed collision may cause more damage to vehicles than a low speed collision?
More kinetic energy involved.
In what 2 ways can a tornado cause damage?
Tornadoes cause damage through powerful winds which, on rare occasions, are strong enough to tear buildings from their foundations. Tornadoes also cause damage through the high-speed debris carried by the winds.

More kinetic energy involved.

At higher speeds, there is more kinetic energy involved.
How does tornado damage occur?
Tornadoes cause damage though powerful wind tearing at and pushing against objects and through impacts of high speed debris.

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.
