Answer:
reduce the velocity of collision
Answer:
The fraction of kinetic energy lost in the collision in term of the initial energy is 0.49.
Explanation:
As the final and initial velocities are known it is possible then the kinetic energy is possible to calculate for each instant.
By definition, the kinetic energy is:
k = 0.5*mV^2
Expressing the initial and final kinetic energy for cars A and B:


Since the masses are equals:

For the known velocities, the kinetics energies result:




The lost energy in the collision is the difference between the initial and final kinectic energies:


Finally the relation between the lost and the initial kinetic energy:


If the motorcycle can go from 0 to 50mph in 3 seconds the person is describing the motorcycle's acceleration.
The answer is B. Unbalanced force
