Two cars colliding while travelling at 50km/h in opposite directions IS NOT the same as hitting a wall at 100km/h

The main thing to remember when doing calculations with the two cars is that one car is doing +50km/h , the other one is doing -50km/h. This therfore means that if you add the velocities, you get 0.

so.... hitting a brick wall at 50km/h will be the same as hitting a (identical) car travelling in the opposite direction, going 50km'h.

common sense also shows this... you are going from 50km/h to 0km/h in a set time, being the time taken for the crumple zone to well... crumple. this is regardless of what you hit. if you hit another car, the other cars crumple zone doesn't "really" affect your cars, as it has its own car to take care of.

if you hit something with a greater mass or velocity then its a different story, as you will most likely be going backwards after the collision
