How many motorcycles are chained to the wall?

Why don't they just build the whole car out of wall

The Guardian shared video of a burn over in action. Thankfully, the firetruck that was caught in it had safety devices for such an emergency. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRDM3ir3l5M

terrenblade posted:How many motorcycles are chained to the wall? If you are a physics robot, coming to a stop hitting a wall and coming to a stop hitting an equal and opposite car will look very similar. But a car and everything inside it is a soft body so physics robot needs to go back to graduate school and learn soft body physics to understand why delta speed is useful to categorize a crash and expected carnage from it.

zedprime posted:Not enough of them. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw it. Speed delta is exponentially more important when you're the smaller car as well, as large mass-differential crashes usually throw the smaller car back some ways. The obvious example is train vs anything, but even a small sedan or a light truck hitting a fully loaded box truck can obliterate the smaller car with physics, which wouldn't happen if it hit a wall even at the full delta speed.

Seriously though, a careful application of the impulse-momentum theorem basically shows a huge difference between a soft object hitting a stationary wall and a soft object hitting another soft object or a hard object hitting a stationary wall. It's not even second-quarter lower-division Physics.

40+40mph = 40mph+wall because both cars have crumple zones. The speed is higher but you've got twice as much crumplezone to deal with it.

just lower the car? or raise the wall maybe...

MythBusters tested this one, and the car crumpled up the same amount in the head on test as it did with the wall. That was with two identical cars, not sure what happens if there's a mismatch in size

I'm actually really curious what the oxygen levels are after that flame front runs over you. Does anyone know if they stick to bottles for a bit or something?

For one thing, different cars have different masses. And two cars each traveling at 40mph towards each other will each have their own mass and acceleration to bring to the party. Think of it this way - if you're going 40mph and someone rear ends you doing 41mph, that person is not experiencing the same force as if they hit a brick wall at 40mph, are they? Fake edit: you appear to be trolling but it's not obvious so I'm going to still reply to you like you're an idiot.

Yes there are differences in how much force each side will see, but you don't add the speeds together.

If two cars going nearly the speed of light collide, the debris violates causality.

If the two cars are equal mass and are going at 40mph then he is perfectly correct that the force on each car in a head-on crash is the same as if one of the cars hits a large immovable object at at 40mph.
