120 mph to 0 in 68 milliseconds with the occupants experiencing peaks of 400 G! Think 120 mph is far-fetched and does not apply to you? Think again. All it takes is a head-on collision between two cars traveling 60 mph...
I'm also going to take issue with this. Hitting another car of equal mass, head on, at 60 mph is exactly equivalent to hitting an immovable object at 60mp
Physics is a b... harsh mistress. Kinetic energy is mass by velocity squared....
