S. said:Nope, you're missing the fact that when the two cars collide, they both take THE SAME time to decelerate, because each of them takes up half of the total distance that they travel in the impact.
Ohhhhhh, yeah sorry, fucked up there. The car will accelerate in a negative direction as if hit a solid wall, correct. But doesn't that mean it's just like asking which will experience less force... a car hitting a wall at 50km/h or a car hitting a wall at 100km/h.
S. said:(btw - impact of 1.0 seconds? You have a 14 metre long crumple zone? Consider how far a car travels in one second at 100km/h). You don't add the two times together.
Haha, I was lazy, I admit i should of made it ALOT smaller.Chalkie said:lets say that the crumple zone of a car lets it stop in 1second to make things easy
