I don't think this question can even be answered with the given information. We need to know the mass of each car.
If the force of impact is extended over a period of time, the intensity of the impact is reduced because the force is distributed over a longer duration. This can help to prevent injuries by reducing the peak force experienced by the objects involved in the impact. It is commonly seen in safety mechanisms such as crumple zones in cars or padding in sports equipment.
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.
Light takes about 8 minutes to travel from Earth to the sun. The sun is about 93 million miles away, so it would take about 177 years to get to the sun in a car traveling at 60 miles per hour, and about 21.5 years to get to the sun in an airplane traveling at 500 miles per hour. (These are just comparisons; cars and airplanes don't travel in outer space.)
The British government was worried that passengers traveling faster than 20 miles per hour on a locomotive would suffocate. This concern was due to the belief that high speeds would create a lack of oxygen inside the train cars, putting passengers' lives at risk.
The hammer exerts a force on the nail; the nail exerts a force on the hammer.
Impact is the same.
Yes, when two cars collide head-on, the force of impact is effectively doubled because each car contributes to the total momentum involved in the collision. If both cars are traveling at the same speed, the force exerted during the impact is a result of both vehicles coming to a stop, leading to a more severe impact than if just one car were stationary. This doubling effect highlights the importance of considering both vehicles' speeds and masses in collision scenarios.
Speed. (NOT velocity.)
The action force of two bumper cars colliding is the force exerted by each car on the other during the collision. This force causes a change in the motion of the cars, resulting in a push or impact between them.
10mph!
The force of two bumper cars colliding is dependent on factors such as the speed and mass of the cars, as well as the angle of collision. The force experienced is a result of the change in momentum during the collision. Generally, bumper cars are designed to absorb some of the impact energy to minimize the force felt by the passengers.
If they are traveling in opposite directions, then they are traveling away from each other at a speed of 95 miles per hour. 380/95=4 They have been traveling for four hours.
If the force of impact is extended over a period of time, the intensity of the impact is reduced because the force is distributed over a longer duration. This can help to prevent injuries by reducing the peak force experienced by the objects involved in the impact. It is commonly seen in safety mechanisms such as crumple zones in cars or padding in sports equipment.
If anything is traveling at constant velocity, then the net force acting on it must be zero.+++Strictly, it is travelling at constant speed, not velocity, because you have not specified the directions of the train and the retarding forces acting on it.

It's not likely, but if the cars do not exert a lot of force on each other during impact the damage can sometimes be trivial.
