Who ever doesn't have on a seat belt would end up being pulled forward out of their seat which might cause brain damage or worst.
2.How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at 60 mph? The vehicle that's traveling at 30 mph has a slower stopping distance , However the vehicle that's going 60 mph Has a much more greater stopping distance.
3.How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle? The small vehicle has Less and the Larger vehicle has more.
4.Keeping in mind the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle, how can a driver best prepare to enter sharp curves in the roadway? The driver would have to slow down their pace before turning the curve.
5.Using information about natural laws, explain why some car crashes produce minor injuries and others produce catastrophic injuries. Cars who are travelling at higher speed produce catastrophic injuries because there's not much time to stop , but the slower moving cars produce less severe injuries because they have more time to stop going at a slower speed. However the more force there is when the car stops the more serious injuries that could happen.
