Crash Victims Save Face With Plastic Surgery
KE equals one-half MV squared. That’s the formula we use to calculate kinetic energy — the energy of a moving body. The M stands for the object’s mass, the V for its velocity.
When you take a massive object – say, a car – and move it at a high velocity, say 60 miles per hour, and then plug those numbers into the equation – well, it’s obvious that there’s a lot of energy in a moving car.
And in a car crash, all that energy is expended — on you. Read the full story
