you are exerting lots of forward G-forces in any collision. The alternator has extremely small tolerances in the air gaps and friction the brushes make. Jarring the car in any collision can knock any part in your engine out of whack. I've even seen a fuel pump go bad from a front end collision and its located in the trunk.
yes
The force of the collision has to great enough
yes , you have to
The energy-absorbing feature that protects the driver in a front-end collision is the crumple zone. This zone is designed to deform and absorb the energy of the impact, reducing the force transferred to the vehicle's occupants. This helps to lessen the severity of injuries sustained in a collision.
You don't. You have to tear apart half of the front end to get to the alternator,.. might as well buy another car.

It could lead to it indirectly, but it won't be a direct cause.
Following the vehicle in front of you to close for comfort is one form of tailgating. This is a bad habit that can lead to having a rear end collision. Tailgating can also mean fixing/having a lunch from the tailgate of your vehicle.

The force from the impact from the collision has caused the under frame to bend upwards. The front and back of the car has raised up putting pressure on the roof front to back causing the metal to bend.
I just had my alternator replaced (at a shop). They told me the mechanic had to "rip the entire front end off" to get to it.
