Question

in a collision, a vehicle that rebounds off the object it strikes experiences less force than if it crumples, assuming the time is the in both situations

Answer 1

False, in a collision a vehicle that rebounds off the object it strikes does not experience less force than if it crumples assuming the time is the same in both situations.

Answer 2

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

As the object is same in both situations so, the force will also be same. But in first case the rebounds energy will be greater than the second case. The reason behind this is that some part of rebounds energy will be used to deform the shape of the vehicle. Hence, the given statement is false.
