Question

It takes about _______ of a second to dissipate the kinetic energy from an impact throughout the vehicle.

Answer 1

Answer:

It takes about 7/10 OF A SECOND to dissipate the kinetic energy from an impact throughout the vehicle.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is referred to as the energy possess by a moving object. A moving vehicle possesses kinetic energy. When a moving vehicle collides with another vehicle or some other objects, the collision generate an impact with higher amount of kinetic energy, which must be dissipated.

The amount of time that it takes to dissipate the impact energy generated by a collision depend on the speed at which the vehicle was travelling before the event and the type of object that the vehicle collide with. Generally, it takes about 7/10 of a second to dissipate the kinetic energy from an impact throughout the vehicle.
