Question

Think of a shape of any material that has been formed by a force. Why did it take that particular shape?
For example, lets say a car hits another car and so the car has a dent and thus the shape of the that was hit changes, why did the car 's shape that shape and not another. Just an example.
Think of thermodynamic properties.

Explanation / Answer

as the car hits another one the kinetic energy of motion of two cars transforms into impact energy and that energy converts into strain energy of that particular body at that particular point and hence body deflects because of strain. the reason why another body does not deforms are 1) shape factor -> the shape of another car may be such that the energy easily dissipates throughout the body giving rise to very little strain energy as area increases.which give rise to very little deflection. 2) material factor -> the other body may be of material which has very value of E( young's modulus) so it give rise to very little strain and hence veru little deflection. thanks. please rate me lifesaver.
