What is crash?

A crash is when something breaks suddenly because it was pushed too hard or hit too fast.

Imagine you're playing with a toy car. It goes zooming along the floor, happy and smooth. But then, bam! A big block falls on top of it. The toy car can't move anymore. That’s like a crash, something strong and quick happens, and things stop working as they should.

What Makes Something Crash?

A crash is often caused by too much force all at once. Think about when you drop your favorite cup from the table. It hits the floor hard, and splat! The cup breaks. That’s a crash, it was pushed too fast or too hard.

Sometimes, crashes are like when you're on a swing and go really high, then come down suddenly. Your body feels it, that's force all at once, just like in a crash!

Crashes can happen with cars, phones, even your favorite toy. They’re not magical, they're just things breaking because of too much push or speed!
