Ok, so as said above, but I didn't grasp why - the damage on equal cars would be equal regardless of a difference in speed. Thanks for that. I am someone who likes to scratch an intellectual itch when it comes even when not in my field - so thanks folks.

My car is smaller, but apparently tougher! But in the hypothetical case, if the damage is not equal then it follows that the force must be different, and if mass the same then velocity would be the variable. My question is which would be going faster? Is it as obvious as the faster one...

Hi, This week I was in an accident - one track road head on round a bend. My impression was that the other car was faster and yet their car was more damaged. I know that make and design is a huge issue in this but trying to recall my physics and failing. In the not real, frictonless...
