The crush distance= Truch damage, 1.27 cm and 1.50 cm, average= 1.38 cm =.5 inch Altima damage , let’s assume the same, 1.38 cm, The truck traveled 6 inches further. Then the change in distance would be .5+.5+6=7 inches=.583 ft Wow, so it traveled .583 ft , if I divide it by the...

After a few hours of reading on this, I realized the following : The bullet vehicle traveled for 45 ft before hitting, and it did this in 4 seconds, that changes my closing speed to 7.67mph ... I can get the Delta V by using Delta V: Vc x [(1+e)/(1=(Wt/Wb))] Vc =closing velocity =...

What I meant is Acceleration = (Velocity Square) / (2 x crush) the other posibility is the formula G force= Change in velocity / time applied to the actual moment when the crush occurs. My problem is if the forward movement of the vehicle with brakes on, has to be added to the crush...

My truck was rear ended. It has a steel and chrome bumper, the vehicle that hit it has a soft bumper, and was traveling at 15 miles per hour. My bumper showed deformation by being bent in 1.27 cm and bent up 1.5 cm. The truck which was with the brakes on, also moved forward 6 inches. The soft...
