    There is net transform of a certain amount of energy is from the body of the car or vehicle to the object and into the environment. As, the net amount of energy inside the given process is kept conservative in nature. While, the accident or the process is mainly caused by the ice which is present on the road that causes the car to slip and it smashes into a tree. This whole process is then termed to involve the transformation of energy from one part or region of the system to another. As, the bonnet of the car has the deformed form, while the tree is also greatly effected by the smashing of vehicles into it, which also causes the tree to have some amount of energy been transformed into it. As, the motion of the car is comprised of the mass, m and the velocity, v of the car. These two factors are involved in the whole process of transformation of the energy and making a collision effective. Now, the collision may be elastic in nature, inside which the whole amount of process. The total amount of energy and momentum is remain conserved, while inside the inelastic process the total amount of energy is not conserved in nature.
