Question

Newer vehicles are designed with crumple zones at the front and rear ends. Crumplezones consist of materials that deform more easily than the other regions of the car.The purpose of these zones is to increase the safety of the passengers in case of acollision. Which statement correctly explains how crumple zones reduce the impactof a collision?They extend the distance over which the impact force slows the car's motion.They convert the nature of the collision from more inelastic to more elastic.They reduce the total momentum of the system involving the colliding vehicle.They increase the mass of the vehicle relative to that of other involved objects.

Answer 1

Answer:

They extend the distance over which the impact force slows down the car's motion

Explanations:

The essence of the crumpling zone in newer cars is to convert part of the Kinetic energy of the car into a controlled deformation.

This will reduce the motion of the car at impact so that it takes a considerably longer time to stop, extend the distance over which the impact force slows down the car's motion, and reduce the shock on the passengers. This is essentially because the impact force will be reduced
