Rekt thread?

Yes

but who was the phone?

>I will just leave my car with visible damage next to this car i just trashed

It's like you're looking to get your arse beat / sued; how fucking dumb are you nigga hahaha, just leave the scene of the crime nigga like just drive away haha

>what is high school physics

walls cant move retard

>almost free
>lightpost kills you anyways

Why doesn't he fucking check for the truck?

Is the answer 690 joules? Idk physics anymore

user is explaining relative motion; something you would have learned in high school physics, if you hadn't dropped out of the 7th grade

Not quite. The oncoming car would not have the rigidity that a reinforced wall has. has it right, it would be equivalent to a 60mph wall-impact on each car, assuming similar mass and strength for the two vehicles. They even tested this on Mythbusters.

This also isn't quite right, in the sense that two cars colliding at 120mph are still dissipating twice as much energy as the single car hitting a wall at 120mph. The difference is that this energy gets absorbed by the crumpling of two vehicles instead of one. Twice the damage wrecks two cars to the extent that the wall scenario only wrecked one.

At any rate, in real-world scenarios, it's also not that likely to hit another vehicle dead-on, dead center anyway- which is why we're seeing increased use of partial overlap crash tests to evaluate vehicle safety. Unfortunately the structures of nearly all but the newest vehicles don't fare well in "small overlap" crashes.
