Hey guys, I am a new member here and i don't know that much about physics so if this seems really obvious to you sorry, I am only 15!
Ohk here's my problem.
I was looking at some stuff on impact
Now impact is reliant on impulse yes?
Now if I(impluse) = F average * change in time
And impulse is = momentum
momentum is Mass * Acceleration, or delta v / delta t
So if a bird is traveling at a velocity of 10m/s with a mass of 10kg but has no acceleration and it collides with an aeroplane which is traveling at 80m/s with a mass of 12 tons with no acceleration does that mean there is no impact as there is no acceleration?
