What is energy that is dissipated in a crash?
Kinetic Energy is energy that is dissipated in a crash.
Energy that is dissipated in a crash is called?
Kinetic Energy is energy that is dissipated in a crash.
Why that the car is an ex of kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is "moving energy". A car moves, it has kinetic energy. In the case of a car crash the energy is released-->smash/bang!!!
Which can absorb more impact cocnut shell or the average crash helmet?
A coconut shell can absorb more impact than the average crash helmet--actually 20% more impact can be applied on the coconut shell and the damage to both would equal out. The shell could absorb more kinetic energy and/or force.
What will car absorb the energy and forces of the crash?
A car absorbs the energy and force of a crash in the crumple zone.
Can you release kinetic energy?
Yes. For example, if two moving objects crash, the kinetic energy gets released as heat energy.
Why do airbags protect you in a crash?
They absorb energy to reduce injuries.
Explain what forces act on a car crash dummy?
Kinetic energy and gravity both act on a crash test dummy kinetic energy moves it forward whilst gravity pulls it back onto the ground
What forces act during car crash test?
Momentum, kinetic energy
When kinetic energy of the crash is used up crushing the metal of the vehicle?
True
What energy is kinetic energy changed to in a car crash?
Potential energy than heat, sound and, of course, there is a loss in potential energy of broken materials...
What are crush zones?
Structural areas of a vehicle that are designed to absorb some of the energy during a crash.
