Question

The amount of energy absorbed by a vehicle in an impact is related to __________ A. the direction of the impact. B. the design of the vehicle. C. all of the above

Answer 1

I think its most likely a the direction of the impact

Answer 2

The correct answer is "The amount of energy absorbed by a vehicle in an impact is related to C. all the above."

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of the impact and the speed affects the amount of energy absorved and that is why during testings, there are different categories like longitudinal vs transverse impact testing.

Also, the design of the vehicle is made according to the tests in order to absorbe as much amount of energy as posible and keep the passengers safe. This is called programmed deformation zones.
