What happens when you add a protective material during a collision?

Back

The collision transfers less kinetic energy, the peak force goes down, and the kinetic energy goes down. All of these are true.

What is the relationship between force and deformation in collisions?

Back

When a force is applied during a collision, it can cause deformation in the objects involved.
