PHYSICS ON THE GO EDEXCEL AS URGENT HELP!
« on: January 12, 2010, 07:17:39 pm »
IN THE SAMPLE PAPER THERE IS A QUESTION WHICH SAYS MODERN CARS INCLUDE CRUMPLE ZONES TO REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE IMPACT FORCE SUGGEST HOW THE CRUMPLE ZONES DO THIS.

IN THE MARK SCHEME THEY MENTIONED THAT IT INCREASES DISPLACEMENT IS INCREASED AND ALSO THEY SAID IT INCREASES TIME THUS DECREASING ACCELERATION WHAT I DNT UNDERSTAND IS HOW DISPLACEMENT AND TIME ARE INCREASED

Crumple zones literally CRUMPLE.

Crumple zones are car safety features that are designed to decrease the force felt by the cars.

By crumpling, it increases the amount of time taken to stop the vehicle. Since time increases, acceleration decreases and thus force decreases.

they also absorb much of the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle so that it does not bounce backwards

it increases time and displacement by crumpling

it needs to crumple instead of just smash into pieces... crumpling takes more time...
just think about it
