In Anchorage, collisions of a vehicle with a moose are so commonthat they are referred to with the abbreviation MVC. Suppose a 950kg car slides into a stationary 550 kg moose on a very slipperyroad, with the moose being thrown through the windshield (a commonMVC result). (a) What percent of the original kinetic energy islost in the collision to other forms of energy? A similar dangeroccurs in Saudi Arabia because of camel–vehicle collisions (CVC).(b) What percent of the original kinetic energy is lost if the carhits a 310 kg camel? (c) Generally, does the percent loss increaseor decrease if the animal mass decreases?
