What does more damage speed humps or speed cushions?
Since both are designed for safety, neither does damage when used properly. Speed humps are meant to slow traffic for the safety of pedestrians. Speed cushions are designed to absorb the force of accidental impact away from the vehicle and towards the cushion device.
If 2 identical cars crash and each is traveling at 50 mph is the impact speed 50 mph or 100 mph and why?
The impact speed for each car is 50 mph. During the crash, both cars are accelerated from a speed of 50 mph to zero, hence the impact speed is 50 mph. The relative speed between each car, however, is 100 mph.
What is the point of impact in a crash are key factors in determining motor vehicle crash survivability?
Speed is a key factor. The higher the speed to more damage will be done. Side impact crashes are the most lethal to passengers. According to a recent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety analysis, drivers of vehicles that perform well in its side-impact crash tests are less likely to die in a crash, compared to drivers of vehicles that have received poor grades in its tests.
What makes a loud crash?
A loud crash is produced when there is a sudden release of energy, such as the impact of two objects colliding at high speed. The vibration and rapid movement of air molecules generated by the impact create a sudden increase in sound pressure levels, resulting in a loud noise.
At what speed does a air bag deploy on a 95 ford explorer?
That depends on what you crash into . A solid wall with no " give " or another vehicle The force of the impact has to be great enough for the impact sensor to require the airbag to inflate
How fast must a person be going for a crash to be considered a high speed crash?
A car-crash will be considered a high-speed crash when one or more of the cars involved is going 60 mph or faster. Any slower, and it is not considered high-speed.
What is the minimum speed for an airbag to deploy in a 2004 Chevy Silverado Pickup?
Speed is relative. The impact threshold for the process is based on a transient impact of 5 to 7g, at a crash speed of between 5 to 15 mph. The variance is based on several factors, including angle of impact, its characteristics (meaning a direct, or deflected secondary hit), transient velocity, or other pressure metrics, as established by the on-board airbag system instrumentation.
What is the high speed of a car?
you crash
How does the motion of the gas molecules change?
Gas molecules change their motion when they bounce into the surfaces of their containers. If the surfaces absorb the impact, then energy is transfered out of the system and particle speed decreases.
What is the minimum speed to activate air bag on Ford Crown Victoria?
As far as I know the force of the impact has to be great enough for the crash sensors to allow the air bags to inflate
The amount of energy absorbed by a vehicle in an impact is realted to what?
Absorbed might be a poor word as a vehicle can only absorb so much energy, some will change the direction of movement, and so on.The things we need to look at are:the speed of the impact (this is the answer you are looking for)The speed and direction of the vehicle after impactThe difference is the energy absorbed.
What is the speed of a crash test?
The European car crash test (NCAP) is being performed with a speed of 64 km (40 miles) per hour.
