Crash barriers absorb kinetic engery and reduce impact this results in less collisions.

are you a wood green student?

HAHAHA :)

'n' they stop cars leaving roads and hitting other people or cars

thats basically what it does but you could explain it in a physics answer in some sense

when you hit a crash barrier the car-does work to bring the car to a stop.

think of the car haveing its kenetic energy as 60,000j (joules) and the crash barrier has to stop it if it were thin like 1 meter thick think of 60,000j = 60,000*1m is going to leave you with alot of work rather than if you would have a large barrier 10 meters for example 60,000j= 6000*10 making it a smaller work force.

Lots of work has been done to increase road safety it has included advances in crah barriers use the ideas of forces and friction to explain how the advances help road safety?

Advances in crash barriers help road safety by utilizing the concepts of forces and friction. Crash barriers are designed to absorb and distribute impact forces, reducing the likelihood of a vehicle veering off the road or colliding with other objects. The materials used in crash barriers and their convex shape also provide increased friction, helping to slow down and redirect vehicles in a controlled manner during a collision. Overall, these advances in crash barriers help to minimize the severity of accidents and protect both drivers and pedestrians on the road.
