The number of Motor vehicle deaths can be estimated assuming they are linearly related to
the kinetic energy of the vehicles in the accident. What effect on the number of fatalities
would occur if the average speed on the highway increases by 20% while the car mass
increases by 10%? (Note that improvements in road and/or car safety are not considered.)
