Are two cars hitting each other at 50 miles per hour equivelent to one car hitting a wall at 50 miles per hour or equivelent to one car hitting a wall at 100 miles per hour in terms of the damage per car that each car individually experiences
Tested with clay displacement before test with actual car collission
I would suggest that one car hitting a statiobary car at 100 miles per hour is not equivelent to one car hitting a wall at 100 miles per hour
@shortstories This is the truth. In tThe car hitting a car scenario, the stationary car will move, and thus absorb some energy. if we're talking a concrete wall, it won't move, so the damage will be worse.
Also, is the car hitting the car straight on? If so, the stationary car has a deformation zone that absorbs energy as well.
