The driver's Body was pushed laterally while the head remained still.

When two objects collide side-by-side (broadside), the head tends to stay static while the body is forced laterally, injuring the neck. The motorist would presumably be protected by a side-curtain airbag rather than hurt.

<h3>A Broadside Collision: What Is It? </h3>

A broadside collision happens when the front of one car bangs into the side of another, usually at a high rate of speed. Although catastrophic injuries can occur in any automobile accident on the road, broadside collisions are especially dangerous.

<h3>Where is the most likely location for broadside collisions?</h3>

The majority of broadside collisions happen at or near junctions. This is due to the fact that crossroads design makes it easy for a broadside collision to occur, especially when motorists are not paying attention. The likelihood of a broadside collision increases when several vehicles cross paths at an intersection.

Explain how a book can have energy even if it is not moving.

frutty [35]

Can something have energy even if it's not moving?
All moving objects have kinetic energy. When an object is in motion, it changes its position by moving in a direction: up, down, forward, or backward. ... Potential energy is stored energy. Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion).

Does a book at rest have energy?
A World Civilization book at rest on the top shelf of a locker possesses mechanical energy due to its vertical position above the ground (gravitational potential energy).

Does a book lying on a table have energy?
The book lying on a desk has potential energy; the book falling off a desk has kinetic energy.
