Question

Your car rolls slowly in a parking lot and bangs into the metal base of a light pole. In terms of safety, is it better for your collision with the light pole to be elastic, inelastic, or is the safety risk the same for either case? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

AN ELASTIC COLLISION IS SAFER

Explanation:

IT'S BECAUSE THE MOVEMENT IS PRESERVED. YEN AN ELASTIC

COLLISION, THE ELASTIC BODY ABSORBS SOME OF THE MOVEMENT.

THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN MORE SLOWLY THAN IN AN

INELASTIC COLLISION WHERE IT DECELERATES FASTER.
