When two vehicles moving at the same speed are involved in a collision the vehicle that?
is heavier will typically experience less damage due to its mass providing more resistance to the impact force. However, the severity of the collision can also depend on the angle of impact, safety features of the vehicles, and other factors such as speed and direction of the vehicles.

What is the kinetic energy causes vehicles to be damaged or destroyed occupant injured or killed?
The kinetic energy of a moving vehicle is what causes damage or destruction upon impact in a collision. When a vehicle collides with another object, the kinetic energy is transferred, leading to deformation and destruction of the vehicle and potential injuries or fatalities to occupants due to the sudden deceleration forces involved. The severity of the damage and injuries depends on factors such as the speed of the vehicles, the mass of the objects involved, and the design of the vehicle's safety features.
How is momentum conserved in a vehicle collision?
That simply means that the total momentum before and after the crash is the same. Please bear in mind that momentum is a vector quantity. Thus, for example, one car moving at 20 m/s (that's 72 km/hour) north, and another car (same mass) that moves at 20 m/s south have a total momentum of zero, because of the way vectors are added.
A slow moving vehicle is required to move to the right?
Slow-moving vehicles are required to move to the right to allow faster-moving vehicles to pass safely. This helps maintain a smooth flow of traffic and prevents congestion or accidents. It is a common courtesy on roads and highways to allow faster vehicles to pass when safe to do so.
What are slow moving vehicals?
Slow moving vehicles are typically those designed to operate at speeds lower than regular traffic, such as tractors, construction equipment, and horse-drawn carriages. These vehicles often display a designated slow-moving vehicle sign to alert other drivers on the road. Their reduced speed serves as a safety precaution to avoid accidents and ensure their visibility to faster-moving vehicles.
What are Four different collision scenarios of conservation of momentum?
Elastic collision: objects bound against each other after the collision. - One is moving and the other is at rest. - Both objects are moving. Inelastic collision: objects stick together after the collision. - One is moving and the other is at rest. - Both objects are moving.

When two vehicles collide in which direction do the vehucles occupants move?
In a collision, the occupants of the vehicles will move in the direction of the impact unless restrained by seat belts or other safety devices. The laws of physics dictate that objects in motion will continue moving until acted upon by an external force.

Why is a slowly moving vehicle a traffic hazard?
Because it blocks traffic and a vehicle might rear end it if the other vehicle can't brake in time, or other vehicles will be tempted to pass the slow moving vehicle in places when you are Not supposed to pass other vehicles and cause an accident.
What causes static build up on moving vehicles?
The static build up on moving vehicles is caused by the friction between the moving vehicle and air. This works best on dry days.
What does the orange triangle on the back of vehicles mean?
Slow moving vehicle. All vehicles that are not able to go proper speed are supposed to have the triangle on the back of the vehicle.
What is the purpose of air bags in a vehicle?
The purpose of air bags in vehicles is to keep passengers and/or drivers safe in the event of a collision. When a vehicle stops abruptly, such as happens when in a collision, the people inside continue to move at the same speed that the vehicle was moving before the collision happened. This can cause many different types of injuries and can even cause someone to fly out of the suddenly stopped vehicle if they are not properly restrained. An airbag provides a "air pillow" for passengers to collide with in the event of a collision, which everyone would agree, is much better than coming into contact with a steering wheel at 25 MPH or faster.
What are the benefits of using GPS tracking systems in vehicles?
It lets you know where the vehicles are located, where they have been, the speed the vehicle is moving.
If you were rear ended with just hazard triangle on your trailer who would be at fault?
Need more info. Daylight or dark? If dark, did reflectors or lights on the trailer (if you had any) meet DMV requirements for a moving vehicle? Moving or stopped? USUALLY it is the striking vehicle which gets charged in a rear-end collision investigation, but if the vehicle that was struck 'contributed' to the collision, then you could be charged.
How many vehicle are waiting to pass on a two lane road a slow moving vehicle is required to move to the right?
Five vehicles or more.
What fast-moving vehicles did man make?
Every single vehicle ever made was and is made by man.
