Which would produce more force driving into a very massive c
Which would produce more force: driving into a very massive concrete wall with no \"give,\" or having a head-on collision at the same speed with an identical car moving toward you with the same speed?
Solution
In headon collision
with identical car , velocity will be exchanged that is we will return with same speed so change in momentum =2mv
but
due to collision with concrete wall with NO GIVE .
velocity after collision becomes zero so change in momentum =mv
where v is initial speed , and m is mass of person .
thus
we can say that change in Momentum is more for car thus impulsive force will be more by car than concrete wall.
