Kinetics Problem: Head-On Collision Between Two Cars
So if my energy equation is correct and my first equation is also correct (hard to calculate that one wrong), what am I supposed to do? Is there an equation that I have not considered? I already tried swapping things from on formula to another but they don't equal the same thing for V1 + V2 so...- Graador

Kinetics Problem: Head-On Collision Between Two Cars
Since the mass of both vehicles is the same, it's possible to calculate Ki which happens to be 512,5J and from there, multiply it by 0,25 since 75% of the energy is gone and I end up with 128,125J. Now my problem is that for the velocity, I have: 25,0 + -20,0 = V1 + V2 which is 5,00 = V1 + V2...- Graador
