That's only because you used two clay pieces to measure the two coming together, so the resistance cut the force in half.... Get it right mythbusters!
energy-wise, there is a factor 2 between 2 cars at 50mph and 1 at 100mph and even 4 for the perspective of a single car. Deformation in compression for clay is everything but linear.
@tealc10 Which is why you have a relatively large sample size because you use clay. Which they had. Even if the narrator cites 5 times, it may just as well they've done it 50 times.
It seems pretty obvious. Two identical objects hitting each each other at the same speed have the same combined momentum right before the crash as twice the momentum of one of the objects right before the crash. If you look at it from relativity, from the vantage point of one car, the other car is going at 100 mph relative to it. However, relative to an observed standing at the future crash site will see each car hurtling towards him/her at 50 mph.
@w1q2e3r4t5 well yes, you are right... from my understanding, the force at speed 2X is double than the force at 1X, but at the frontal colision, the force splits equally to the 2 clay pieces, thus making them compress just like the 1X speed caly pieces
who would have THUNK!?!?!?! .... first time i've heard that word hahaha

they should test the force on an object in the middle of two moving cars. i think thats what Jamie was getting at when he said what he said.

I used to love Mythbusters
but now I know that have no idea about real physics
cause the force splits equally to the 2 clay pieces which is the same force as the compressed clay piece got at 2x
this is physics for nuts

Hm, the total compression of BOTH pieces of clay is about equal to that of the two time sspeed, though...

Shouldn't they have been testing the force on the car in the MIDDLE?
Edecreed 11 months ago 14
@Edecreed Yes, that setup tests the force on the trucks, not the force of a car wedged between them.
Still interesting, because one would that wall crash at 100 is a good estimate for a head on crash at 50. Which apparently it isn't,
Yora21 9 months ago
@Edecreed No it's the same, because there is a weight compressing it from behind, which has the same momentum as the car in front

@Pierodatrieste No wait you're right, I thought you were talking about the first experiment with just one car hitting the wall
