Is a 50 mph - 50 mph collision the same as a 100 mph collision into a wall?

  • What if you have a head on collisions between two cars going 50 mph each. Is this the same as one car going 100 mph crashing into a wall?

    I’m so far from understanding Physics but I cracked up at the worst scientific testing ever at the beginning. Hilarious 👍

    Tbh this is such a bad demonstration.
    Well what I think is, if both cars have a crumple zone, then it should has a less impact force.
    But if u are assuming the surface of both cars behave exactly the same as well then it wouldn't make a difference, as velocity depends on the frame of references

    no, combined impact sped is 100 but the forces are equally shared between 2 vechicles. so the impact damage shoudl be similar to each car doing 50 into a wall...

      I don't understand. When you hit the wall, the forces doesn't equally share between the car and the wall? It's the same case, isn't it?

      ​@@yandyyay you are wrong, and seem to be assuming that energy scales linearly with speed, which it does not. Doing 100mph into an immovable object which absorbs no energy will result in all the kinetic being absorbed by 1 car instead of 2, resulting in 'twice the damage'. However, to achieve similar impact damage, you need to half the kinetic ENERGY, not the speed. E = 1/2 mv^2, so do the math...
