GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Lighter, smaller cars provide less protection to the occupants than larger, heavier cars. Size of vehicle helps you in ALL types of crashes. Weight of vehicle is primarily an advantage in a collision with another vehicle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Weight is important when two vehicles collide. The bigger vehicle will push the lighter one backward during the impact. That puts less force on the people inside the heavier vehicle and more on the people in the lighter vehicle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Speed: Perhaps the most obvious one is road user speeds at the time of collision. Numerous studies have shown that higher vehicle speeds at the time of collision are more likely to result in severe injury or death. Mass: The mass of the two road users involved in the conflict also affects the severity.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a collision between two objects, both objects experience forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Such forces often cause one object to speed up (gain momentum) and the other object to slow down (lose momentum).

Detailed explanation-5: -There are actually three collisions in every crash: the vehicle collision; the human collision; and the internal collision (inside your body).
