A car absorbs the energy and force of a crash in the crumple zone.
By getting compressed, the cushioning material absorbs some of the energy of the collision. This leaves less force to cause injury or damage.
The force of the collision has to be great enough for the crash sensors to allow the air bag to inflate
it reduces the impact force
It is better to cru,ple since the process of crumpling absorbs some of the impact force.
During a crash, the main forces acting on a driver are the collision force from the impact with another object or vehicle, the force from the deceleration of the vehicle, and the force from any restraints such as seat belts or airbags. These forces can cause injuries to the driver depending on the severity of the crash and the effectiveness of safety mechanisms in place.
A head-on collision is often considered the worst type of collision due to the high force generated by the impact and the high likelihood of severe injuries or fatalities. The combined speeds of the two vehicles can result in a devastating crash.
The force of the collision has to be high enough for the crash sensors to inflate the air bags
for the case of the side of the car: if the side doors are crumple then the people in the car would be crash because there is not much space for the crumble zone to absord the force and redistribute. also, if the roof of the car is crumple, then when the car collapses , people in the car will be crash. we want the collision force to be far away from the passengers , and the way that the crumble zone work is when the car hit something, the crumble zone reduces the initial force of the crash, and they redistribute the force before it reaches the vehicle's occupants. hope this kind like give you the idea,
Seatbelts are designed to stretch in a collision to help slow down a person’s body gradually, reducing the impact force experienced during a crash. This stretching action also helps to spread the force of impact over a larger area of the body, decreasing the likelihood of serious injuries.
The energy that is dispersed during a crash is called impact energy. This energy is transferred and absorbed by the objects and materials involved in the collision, which helps reduce the force and damage experienced by individuals or vehicles.
