I wasn't trying to get G's, I could probably find that info from accelerometer data from some crash test site... What I want to know is the force IN LBS, if that is possible. E.G: 2,500lb vehicle hits a 10,000lb vehicle, how fast would it have to be moving to move the 10,000lb vehicle? Is there...

heh, just the other day I was wondering why in a completely dark room with 2 mirrors, why does light in 2 mirrors stop reflecting the second you turn the light off, shouldn't there be a delay? I know the speed of light is just over 186,000 miles per second. But I wonder why would it dissipate so...

infinite??Ok, let's drop the speed down to 5mph, and instant stop on a wall, vehicle no longer accelerating.

What would it be if you took out the crumple variable?

How would you accurately estimate the force of a car crash? Say, a 2,500lb vehicle has an impact with a wall @ 30mph.. How would you accurately estimate the force in LBS, Is it possible?
