Types of Energy and Trauma Injuries1.Name the four types of EnergyKinetic, Thermal, Potential, ChemicalThermal, Kinetic, Chemical, EntropyEntropy, Thermal, Enthalpy, PotentialEnthalpy, Potential, Kinetic, Chemical2.Which of the following best describes the principle of energy conservation in physical systems?Energy can be created and destroyed in different formsEnergy can only be transformed from one form to anotherEnergy is constant and cannot change formsEnergy can be lost to the environment without any transformation3.Which type of motor vehicle collision impact is most likely to result in injuries such as clavicular fractures and brain injuries due to deformation of the vehicle's side?Head-on impactLateral impactRear-end impactRollover impact4.What is the mechanism of injury associated with the down and under pathway in a motor vehicle collision, and what types of injuries are commonly observed?The occupant is thrown forward, leading to head and neck injuries.The occupant slides under the steering column, resulting in lower extremity and pelvic injuries.The occupant is ejected from the vehicle, causing multiple fractures and internal injuries.The occupant remains seated, leading to whiplash and upper body injuries.5.What describes the mechanism of injury associated with the up and over pathway in a motor vehicle collision, and what types of injuries are commonly expected?The up and over pathway involves the body moving forward and upward, leading to potential head and cervical spine injuries, as well as lung injuries and lower extremity trauma.The up and over pathway results in the body being thrown backward, causing primarily abdominal injuries and pelvic fractures.The up and over pathway refers to the body rolling over the vehicle, leading to injuries primarily in the upper extremities and facial lacerations.The up and over pathway is characterized by the body being propelled sideways,resulting in shoulder dislocations and rib fractures.6.The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends on its:
Mass and volume.Volume and friction.Mass and speed.Speed and density.7.Understanding the kinetics of trauma should help you:8.What are the five common forms of MVC?9.What are abrupt deceleration injuries caused by?10.What is the primary mechanism behind an abrupt deceleration injury, and what types of damage can result from it?A sudden increase in speed causing whiplash and soft tissue strainA rapid stop of the body's forward motion leading to organ and tissue damageA gradual decrease in velocity resulting in minor bruisingAn external force applied to the body causing fractures and dislocations
