The force equation can easily prove this. F=ma. This states that the force on an object is equal to mass times acceleration. If the mass stays the same and the velocity of the cars increases than that means there is a larger force. This is because in both cases the cars are stopping in almost an instant and the times of the crashes are theoretically identical. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. If the velocity is higher with the same amount of time than that means there is a higher acceleration. If you plug a higher acceleration into the force equation then you wind up with a higher force and in turn a more damaging collision.

Force can be expressed as the product of mass and acceleration. Mathematically, that's F = m(a). Plugging the given into the equation, we have F = (13.5 kg)(9.5 m/s²) = 128.3 kg.m/s² or 128.3 N<span>. </span>
Answer:
7 hours
Explanation:
The total charge contained in the battery is
And this is a charge, since it is a current multiplied by a time:
The current drawn by each headlight (which is the charge consumed per second) is
Since we have two headlight, the total current drawn is
Therefore, the total charge consumed by the two headlights each hour is
So, the time before the battery is dead is
