    Energy transformed in a collision

    Even though the formulas are clear to me now, when I try to picture its implications in a car collision there is something that I don't fully understand. I am sure that I may be missing something, anyway please let me explain my reasoning: Scenario 1: two equal cars, car1 and car2 collide when...

    Energy transformed in a collision

    When reconstructing traffic accidents to obtain the collition velocities it is needed to obtain the "crush energy" which is the amount of kinetic energy transformed into permanent damage to the cars involved. From that kinetic energy we get the Energy Barrier Speed which is used with the...

    What can I expect from this physics forum?

    Hello all, I am hapy to have found this forum. It is been a long time since I attened a physics class and now I see here the oportunity to keep learning without the pressure of the exams etc. Looking forward to learn from all of you, participate and contribute to this great forum.
