Does the kinetic energy of your vehicle dissipates quickly when the vehicle is in a crash?

It just depends on how quickly it stops. In some crashes the vehicle may go on out of control for some distance, in head-on crashes it will stop very quickly

When you rub your hands together quickly the kinetic energy is converted to what energy?
It's converted to heat energy.
What are the two factors that will affect the amount of kinetic energy on the moving vehicle on the road?
-- mass of the vehicle -- speed of the vehicle
When kinetic energy of the crash is used up crushing the metal of the vehicle?
True
What are some examples of energy conversions from potential to kinetic?
In a hydro plant the water has potential energy which turns to kinetic when it is allowed to fall into the turbine. Or in a gasoline engine or a jet engine, the potential chemical energy in the fuel is released by burning it and it results in kinetic energy of the vehicle.
Why is there not that much kinetic energy in an iceberg?
Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. If an object doesn't move quickly, it will usually not have much kinetic energy. Or it might, depending on the mass. Make some assumptions about the mass of your iceberg, and its speed, and do the calculations for the amount of kinetic energy (which is equal to 1/2 x mass x speed squared).
What is an example of kinetic energy as it applies to a vehicle?
Kinetic energy is extra energy resultant of motion. So, a moving vehicle has kinetic energy.
What does a vehicle's momentum depend on?
Kinetic Energy
Is it possible for humans to control Kinetic Energy?
YES ... When a car is moving, it has kinetic energy. If you apply the brakes, the vehicle will slow down and thus loose some of that kinetic energy. The energy that was kinetic from the fast moving vehicle is transferred into heat energy in the braking mechanism (the rotor disks and pads.)
What type of energy does the accelerated particle primarily gain?
If something is made to move quickly, it gets kinetic energy.
What is seismic damper?
A seismic damper is a mechanical device that dissipates kinetic energy of seismic waves. It is also known as a harmonic absorber.
What do fusion and fission release?
Kinetic energy, which is quickly converted to thermal energy
Does a flashlight battery have kinetic energy?
No, unless it is moving (e.g. you threw it, it is in a moving vehicle). Only moving objects have kinetic energy.
What kind of relationship exists between kinetic energy and temperature?
As molecules move more quickly, the temperature increases . -apexx
When you rub your hands together quickly the kinetic energy is converted to what energy?
It's converted to heat energy.
What are the two factors that will affect the amount of kinetic energy on the moving vehicle on the road?
-- mass of the vehicle -- speed of the vehicle
Does the speed of an object affect the way it sinks on cornstarch?
A stationary object will sink in cornstarch. If an object has kinetic energy (is moving) it will transfer its energy to the cornstarch when it stikes it. This kinetic energy causes the cornstarch to solidify temporarily, once this energy dissipates into the material around where the object struck, the cornstarch becomes liquid again.
When particles in the air nove quickly is it warm or cold?
The faster molecules move, the more kinetic energy they have. Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy. Therefore, molecules that move more quickly imply warmer air.
