Two identical cars collide head on. Each car is traveling at 100 km/h. The impact force on each car is the same as hitting a solid wall at: a) 100 km/h b) 200 km/h c) 150 km/h d) 50 km/h I will give a medal

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

what do you think @tbing5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it might be 100 km/h

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

CORRECT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Really

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

yes here is why

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

imagine if me and you are in a car and i am driving at 55mph an you are not wearing your seat belt. and i hit the brakes hard to make the car come to a complete stop. When the car comes to a stop we are still moving at 55mph so if we hit something we will hit it at the same speed. You get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah i get it

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Great :D
