Which of the following best describes why the occupants of a vehicle moving at 50 miles per hour will be injured when the vehicle strikes a tree but not when it brakes to a stop?
A) The energy gradually dissipates as heat due to the friction of braking, rather than transfers to the vehicle and its occupants.
B) Braking allows the kinetic energy to be absorbed evenly into the frame of the vehicle, rather than concentrating it at the point of impact.
C) The inertia of the tree increases the kinetic energy transmitted to the occupants by a factor of 10.
D) None of the above.
