Being in a 30 mph crash has the equivalent force of?

Does Crash severity increases with the speed of the vehicle at impact?
Yes, all things being equal, crash severity does increase proportional to the speed of each vehicle at impact, and is a vector sum. So, there is a big difference between crash severity at impact from being "rear-ended" (when one vehicle is traveling the same direction as another, and impacts the front of their vehicle with the rear of another) and a "head-on" impact (two cars traveling into one another, impacting both front bumpers). In the rear-end impact, you take the momentum (mass times velocity) of the rear, impacting vehicle "A" and subtract the momentum of the front-most impacted vehicle "B", and that gives you the resultant impact force (the difference in momentum being transferred). weak impact scenario example: vehicle A is traveling 60 mph, and vehicle B is the same mass and is traveling 50 mph. The difference in momentum would be the mass times 10 mph...not much. severe impact scenario: vehicle A is traveling 70 mph, and vehicle B is at rest (0 mph)...large impact. In the head-on impact, you have the most severe crash scenario. In this case, you ADD the momentum of vehicle A with the momentum of vehicle B, and you get the resultant force of impact. Even if both vehicles are traveling 30 mph, with the same mass, and have a heaad-on collision, the is close to the same as one vehicle traveling 10 mph and hitting the other vehicle going 70 mph...severe impact.
In 2 seconds at 30 mph what is distance in feet?
At 30 mph, an object travels about 102.66 feet in two seconds.
30 kph is how many mph?
The conversion is 1mph = 1.609344 kph. 30 kph would then equal 18.6411 mph.
Impact force is inversely proportional to impact?
time
The force of impact at 20 MPH is four times that at 10 MPH?
Yes
How does wheel spin effect a crash?
My dad and I are having a discussion. if you were to hit a wall at 30 mph, would that be a different force rather than hitting the same wall at 30 PMH, but your rear wheels spinning at 50 MPH? I believe that since youre hitting the wall at 30 mph , it would be the same impact regardless how fast the rear wheels are spinning,
At 60 mnp the force of your car impacting a surface is how many times as great as 30 mph?
4 times the impact. The formula is 1/2 mass times velocity squared.
Is it true that at 60 mph the force of your car impacing a surface is about four times as great as 30 mph?
YES

Define high and low velocity impact?
In mechanics, an impact refers to the shock or force produced when two or more bodies collide. High and low velocity impacts basically differ in the speed at which the objects collided. Low velocity impact is normally under 30 mph while high velocity impact is above.
The force with which a body moving at 30 mph hits a dashboard is equivalent to the force of that same body hitting the ground after a fall?
... of about 61 feet.
Is Being in a crash at 30 MPH the equivalent force of being dropped off a four story building?
no
