That depends on the weight of the vehicle(s) and how fast it (they) are travelling.

The amount of energy absorbed by a vehicle in an impact is realted to what?
Absorbed might be a poor word as a vehicle can only absorb so much energy, some will change the direction of movement, and so on.The things we need to look at are:the speed of the impact (this is the answer you are looking for)The speed and direction of the vehicle after impactThe difference is the energy absorbed.
In a vehicle collision the longer it takes to dissipate kinetic energy the force of impact?
lower
How do you convert impact energy into impact strength?
First check Impact energy from Charpy Imapct testing and cross section of the fractured sample. Calculate Impact strength as per given formula: Impact strength= Impact Energy (In Joules) / Area of cross section (cm2) (J/cm2)
Crash severity increases with the speed of the vehicle at impact?
Yes, all things being equal, crash severity does increase proportional to the speed of each vehicle at impact, and is a vector sum. So, there is a big difference between crash severity at impact from being "rear-ended" (when one vehicle is traveling the same direction as another, and impacts the front of their vehicle with the rear of another) and a "head-on" impact (two cars traveling into one another, impacting both front bumpers). In the rear-end impact, you take the momentum (mass times velocity) of the rear, impacting vehicle "A" and subtract the momentum of the front-most impacted vehicle "B", and that gives you the resultant impact force (the difference in momentum being transferred). weak impact scenario example: vehicle A is traveling 60 mph, and vehicle B is the same mass and is traveling 50 mph. The difference in momentum would be the mass times 10 mph...not much. severe impact scenario: vehicle A is traveling 70 mph, and vehicle B is at rest (0 mph)...large impact. In the head-on impact, you have the most severe crash scenario. In this case, you ADD the momentum of vehicle A with the momentum of vehicle B, and you get the resultant force of impact. Even if both vehicles are traveling 30 mph, with the same mass, and have a heaad-on collision, the is close to the same as one vehicle traveling 10 mph and hitting the other vehicle going 70 mph...severe impact.
As an object falls in free fall what energy is taking place?
Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the object gains speed. A small amount of that energy is converted in heat by air resistance and the remaining kinetic energy is normally converted to heat when it strikes the ground. Some energy may be converted into other forms of energy depending on impact speed.
The amount of energy absorbed by a vehicle in an impact is related to the direction of the impact and the design of the vehicle?
The amount of energy absorbed by a vehicle in an impact is related to:

Amount of energy absorbed by a vehicle in an impact is related to?
The amount of energy absorbed by a vehicle in an impact is related to the direction of the design of the vehicle. The speed and weight of the vehicle will also play a significant role.

What factors impact the amount of force generated by the body?
The amount of matter that it contains - which can be converted to energy according to Einstein's e = mc^2.
Which factor is not considered by ecologist when they evaluate the impact of human activities on an ecosystem?
The amount of energy released from the Sun.
Why do gases that make less than 1 percent of the atmosphere affects so much?
Quantity and impact are not linearly related. A microscopic amount of plutonium, if inhaled, is likely to kill you while rooms full of "normal" air will have no ill effect.Quantity and impact are not linearly related.

Is momentum conserved in inelastic collision?
The energy of the momentum in a collision is conserved through the following occurrences; movement of vehicle(s) after impact, deformation of the vehicle(s) or objects hit, heat and sound.
What is the correct description of the third impact of every crash?
If you are meaning in relationship to persons in the vehicle, the first impact is the vehicle with an object, the second impact is the person in the vehicle with the vehicle, the third impact is internal body organs with the skeleton of the person or other inside body parts.
Why can strategic weaknesses be a strength in vehicle safety?
crumple zones allow vehicles to absorb impact forces, transferring less energy to the occupants
