If the impact was severe enough then the car metal structure could be forced forward enough to warp the hood or shift it out of alignment.

A knock or bump is less likely to have this effect though.

Why would a high-speed collision between 2 cars cause more damage than a low-speed collision between the same 2 cars?

During the high-speed collsision, the cars would cause more kinetic energy than with a low collision. It would cause damage because there is a greater amount of force exerted in the high-speed collision.


Why is cushion materials used in collision?

By getting compressed, the cushioning material absorbs some of the energy of the collision. This leaves less force to cause injury or damage.


Explain why a high-speed collision might cause more damage to vehicles then a low- speed collision?

In a high-speed collision, the kinetic energy involved is greater, leading to more force upon impact. This increased force can cause more deformation and damage to the vehicles involved. Additionally, higher speeds decrease the time available for vehicles to decelerate, resulting in a more abrupt and destructive collision.
