as a driver you have to sharpen up when kids are around and certainly not speed up. kids can and will do wrong judgements at some time. what this safety ad is all about is that the driver was going to fast over the speed limit, and it could have been avoided, or the kid would at least survive from that crash.

The music is from "the lucky one" with Alison Krauss!

No helmet on the cyclist either.....

right as i said before.. and most people who speed are going 10-20km over so you are saying that extra 10km is always going to cause death or a significant more amount of damage which is negligible when you compared it to the accident never happening in the first place.

[1RadicalOne]

No, there is a maximum amount of energy that can realistically be absorbed by the frame of the car. The rest goes into the passenger cabin.

As for how the damage manifests, besides the obvious fact that it always manifests as deformation of objects (car and passengers), the exact nature varies from collision to collision - car make, angle, and a thousand other factors determine what takes the brunt of the impact and how it reacts.

Plus you are talking about something that can't overly be measured. That exta 5-10km does how much more damage exactly?? You are mainly worried about how much more paint and how much more damage is done to a vehicle usually in a rear ending situation... not much difference the bumper is always going to have to be replaced.

PLUS there are other factors in the amount of damage the missile does besides it velocity.. it's mass.. the amount of explosive power.... you can' just pick on speed.

[squallz13]

I'll try and give you an example as you can't seem to wrap your small brain around this one.

We are being attacked by a missile. The faster that missile goes the more damage it will do yes.

However lets say in order for that missile to do actual damage it must be accurate. Therefore 95% of the time accuracy causes damage.. the other 5% is from the velocity. Do you get my point? You would be more worried about changing the accuracy of the missile than the velocity.

@1RadicalOne

Omg.. you are a tool.

Factors involved in the physical realm of your point. Friction, reaction time, mass, and velocity.

FRICTION=BRAKES & TIRES

R/T= DRIVER ABILITY

MASS=Weight of vehicle

velocity is only one factor. therefore the others must be taken into account you can't just pick one...

[1RadicalOne]

I am not talking about causing accidents - though there is the fact, which I am sure you do recognize, that reaction times must get faster as speed increases - but about the amount of damage done once a collision takes place.

I see no way how the formula for kinetic energy - derived from an integration of Newton's second law, look it up - says anything about brakes besides the fact that they must work HARDER to stop a faster vehicle, which only serves my point.

@1RadicalOne

also vehicles that can stop that have better braking again according to your logic.. give me a break. fml

You can't apply physics logic to it. Accidents are caused by stupid fucking drivers 95% of the time. If you are going to harp on speed you have to harp on all the other factors. IF we are going to talk about factors then look at what causes 95% of accidents that is by far the LARGEST factor so suck it

@1RadicalOne

I know the laws of physics stop beating a dead horse. I just proved to you quite logically as to why physics don't really matter in this type of situation.. Also if we were to take into account your physics logic. Vehicles that are heavier should not be travelling the same speed as lighter vehicles. You can't just pick one.. they are all factors according to you. Friction plays a factor so vehicles that have better tires?? Reaction time plays into it so people who have slower reac

[1RadicalOne]

Those are the laws of physics. As the formula goes, E_k = (mv^2)/2. See the v^2?.
