So I just got done watching the recent episode of mythbusters in where they tested to see if a car traveling at 100 mph crashing into a wall would be the same force as two cars traveling at 50 mph. It turns out that although the speed is doubled, the mass has ben as well, resulting the energy being distributed both the same as a single car crash at 50, and also a two car crash at 50. The 100 mph crash recorded an average (between the two sides) of 185 g's. The 50 mph (both single and head on) recorded around 53. Just something I found interesting.
Off hand, what is the g force that a human dies from?
And incase anyone was wondering this today, in order to knock someones socks off (literally), you will need to generate 30,000,000 newtons of force. Or a flatbed traveling at 65 mph with a 2x8 strapped to it.
Discuss?
