I am currently trying to work out if two objects,
of given mass X and Y, (given in KG)
are both traveling toward each other at Zmps,
and collide head on, and come to a complete rest.
how do i find the force of each object on impact. Without taking into account air resisitance.
I'm aware of the formula
F=ma
does this then mean simply
X*Z= A Newtons
Y*Z= B Newtons
A+B= combined force of two vehicles
If so, Given that the two objects are Cars & have a crumple zone of 1.3m how will this affect my calculation.
Also, how do i calculate change in momentum, and change in energy of each vehicle?
any help appreciated as i am baffled.
