To Explain: The automobiles in ancient time were manufactured to be as rigid as possible but not in present time.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Impact is the maximum force which is applied for an instant of time during the collision of two or more bodies.
In rigid design automobiles, the force of the impact will be transferred throughout the body of the car including the person who is sitting inside when there is a crash. This can result in serious harm. But in modern design automobiles, they have crumple zone at the front. This crumple helps to absorb the force of the impact, limiting the damage done elsewhere. It should result in less harm to the people inside as compared to rigid design automobiles, but it will still run the car.
Conclusion:
So, the automobiles in ancient time were manufactured to be as rigid as possible but today’s automobiles are designed to crumple upon impact.
