Question

In a typical rear-end collision, the victim's ________ is accelerated faster and harder than the torso.

Answer 1

Answer: In a typical rear-end collision, the victim's head is accelerated faster and harder than torso.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a vehicle crashes into the one in front of it then this type of collision is called rear-end collision.

The lighter part of the victim would have more acceleration than the lower heavy part of the victim. Here, the lighter part of the victim is head and the heaver part of the victim is torso.

Therefore, in a typical rear-end collision, the victim's head is accelerated faster and harder than torso.

Answer 2

The answer is the victim's head. It is because as the chest up until the lower area has the seat belt, the head does not consist of any restraint or protective gear that will prevent it from moving forward. That's why the head of the victim is likely to accelerate faster compared to the torso.
