What are the factors that affect the amount of damage in a car collision? - Use evidence from the labs to support your answer.
Some factors that affect a collison is the speed at which the vechile is moving and the weight the vechile holds. Also the amount of acceleration that the one or bothe veciles exceed.
Factors that affect a collision are the speed of the vehicle (how fast or slow it goes) which also determines the force of the collision. The mass affects a collision brcause the bigger the car, the more damage and force will occur and the smaller the car the less damage and force will occur.
Some of the factors that affect the amount of damage in a car collision are speed, force of the object, the mass of the two objects, and the velocity of the object. When doing the collision lab if the cart had more speed, force and velocity (a higher release notch) the cart pushed the block farther. If the cart had more mass it would push the block further because it would gain more speed going down the ramp. -Mackenzie, Ross, Brielle, and Kylie
Factors that affect the experiment are speed, mass and force. These are all determined by the mass of the car, the higher it is, the more force goes behind it and the bigger the collision.
Acceleration and mass are the two main contributing factors that affect the amount of damage in a collision. Our evidence for this statement is present in the labs we conducted.
First of all when we increased the drop height of the cart the block moved farther. As we decreased the drop height the block moved less, thereforeless force was applied on the block. We can't observe the force directly but we can, however, infer that more (or less) force was applied according to the blocks movement.
Mass is also a contributing factor to how much force is applied in a collision. In the lab we conducted the independent variable was the mass of the cart. We changed the mass by adding small metal cylinders in the cart's basket. When we added more cylinders the block moved farther, indicating that more force was applied to the block. We know this evidence is accurate because we performed the trial multiple times.
In conclusion the more mass and acceleration the more force is exerted on the object. The more force there is the more damage to the object. Therefore the two main factors contributing to how much damage is caused during a collision are mass and acceleration.

Trevor, WONDERFUL comment!!!! Well done :-)
ReplyDeleteThe factors that can cause the amount of accidents are the speed of car, mass, and also center of gravity.
