By collapsing and crumpling, the force and energy is absorbed by the crumple zone and it is not transferred to the passengers inside. This is a safety feature for the passengers.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
The formula for kinetic energy is given as
KE = (0.5) m v²
where m = mass of object , v = speed of object.
an object having some speed and mass will have kinetic energy while an object at rest will not have any kinetic energy since the speed of object at rest is zero.
Since at rest speed is zero. an object has kinetic energy only when it is in motion.
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through. They can travel through empty space or matter.
Answer:
The momentum would be doubled
Explanation:
The magnitude of the momentum of the freight train is given by:
where
m is the mass of the train
v is its speed
In this problem, we have that the speed of the train is unchanged, while the mass of the train is doubled:
therefore, the new momentum is
so, the momentum has also doubled.
Change in position of object = Displacment
