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

In a high-speed crash, there is more kinetic energy that needs to be dissipated upon impact, leading to more damage. The force of impact in a high-speed crash is also greater, causing more deformation to the vehicles and potentially more severe injuries to occupants. Additionally, the time available to decelerate in a high-speed crash is shorter, resulting in a more abrupt and intense collision.


What feature does a crash-test dummy have to help scientists measure forces and their effects?

Crash-test dummies are equipped with sensors throughout their bodies to measure and record the forces experienced during a crash. These sensors can help scientists understand how the body reacts to impacts and calculate the risk of injuries based on the recorded data.


Can you detect speed in a blood test?

speed as in da drug? it would only come up if they were looking for it in a drug screen test not a preg test.


How fast are you going if you are in a 90g crash?

It's not possible to find speed knowing only the deceleration. Deceleration is a rate of speed decrease in time, so 90g could correspond to object slowing from 882m/s to zero in one second or, for example, an object slowing down to zero from 10m/s in 0.012 s. Deceleration during crash depends heavily on composition and general properties of objects participating.


How is crash speed determined when two vehicles are moving in the same direction?

The difference between the two speeds. So if one car is traveling at 60mph and the other is 70mph, it would be a 10mph difference since they are traveling in the same direction. Now, if they were colliding head on, it would be 130mph total speed.Also, 2 cars traveling at exactly the same speed and direction (assuming they start a certain distance apart) will never collide and will maintain that exact distance they started apart.
