Now - if you are INSIDE one of the cars, and you stop from 50km/h to 0km/h then only difference between hitting another car travelling in the opposite direction and hitting a brick wall (from the same speed) is the *peak* force your body experiences.



but we're talking about two cars at 50km/h each and car at 100km/h vs wall

to answer the original question:
basically, if the cars and wall were all equal solid objects, then the force experienced by each object would be the same


You are still missing my point! No wonder people struggle with the theory of relativity.

A 100km/h impact taken by ONE car hitting a wall is a collision with 4 times the energy of a collision of ONE car hitting a wall at 50km/h. The total energy in a TWO 50km/h car collision is TWO times that of a ONE 50km/h car collision - however each car only gets HALF the TOTAL energy of the collision thus EACH car absorbs ONE 50km/h collision's worth of energy - so my point is that if you are inside ONE car (and not TWO, which is impossible) then you will experience ONE 50km/h collisions' worth of energy regardless of what you hit.
