Answer:

c

Explanation:

If you double your speed, the energy dissipated in a crash is four times greater

Because impact increases with square of increase in speed.

Answer:

c. If you double your speed, the energy dissipated in a crash is four times greater.

Explanation:

Given:

Impulse, P = force, f × time, t

= mass, m × velocity, v

Energy = kinetic energy, E = 1/2 × m × v^2

At v2 = 2v1

E1 = 1/2 × m × v1^2

= (m × v1^2)/2

E2 = 1/2 × m × (2v1^2)

= 1/2 × m × 4v1^2

= m × 2v1^2

(2 × E1)/v1^2 = E2/2v1^2

E1 = E2/4

E2 = 4 × E1
