    c

    Explanation:

    If you double your speed, the energy dissipated in a crash is four times greater

    Because impact increases with square of increase in speed.

    c. If you double your speed, the energy dissipated in a crash is four times greater.

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Impulse, P = force, f * time, t

    = mass, m * velocity, v

    Energy = kinetic energy, E = 1/2 * m * v^2

    At v2 = 2v1

    E1 = 1/2 * m * v1^2

    = (m * v1^2) / 2

    E2 = 1/2 * m * (2v1^2)

    = 1/2 * m * 4v1^2

    = m * 2v1^2

    (2 * E1) / v1^2 = E2/2v1^2

    E1 = E2/4

    E2 = 4 * E1
