Question

Select the correct answer.

Which of the following statements is true in the case of a collision?

A.
Increased impact time will increase the impact force.
B.
Reduced impact velocity will increase the impact force.
C.
Reduced impact mass will increase the impact force.
D.
Reduced impact time will increase the impact force.

Answer 1

D - Reduced impact time will increase the impact force

Step-by-step explanation:

A. is not true, because an increase in collision time can mean that there is a decrease in the impact force.

B. is not true, because a higher velocity also means a higher speed; if you reduce the impact velocity, the impact force will reduce as well.

C. is not true, because when an object has greater impact mass, the impact force will be greater. The impact force will not increase if the object has reduced mass.
