Will two cars traveling at the same speed come to rest at the point of impact in a frontal collision?
In general, they will not. Remember that momentum must be conserved, and momentum is the product of mass x velocity. If the cars happen to have the same mass, as well as the same speed, then their combined momentum will indeed be zero. But if one of the cars has a larger mass, their total momentum before the collision will NOT be zero, so the combined cars (after the crash) will continue moving for a while, until slowed down by friction.

How does addition in mass to a car will affect the collision point?
Gravity and mass are a direct modifier and multiplier and can contribute to a stationary collision point after the collision has taken place. The materials the vehicle is made of can also effect the collision point by which materials effect the mass of the moving object during impact.
In a collision do occupants move away from the point of impact not toward?
In a collision, occupants tend to move towards the point of impact due to inertia. The impact causes the vehicle to abruptly decelerate, while inertia causes occupants to continue moving forward until another force like a seatbelt or airbag stops their motion.
What is the primary collision?
The primary collision is the initial impact that occurs between two objects in a collision event. It is typically the point where the most significant damage or force is generated in a collision. Understanding the dynamics of the primary collision is important in accident reconstruction to determine the sequence of events.
Is it true that if two cars collide while approaching each other at 60 mph that the impact is equivalent to one car hitting a solid steel wall at 120 mph?
No, when two cars collide while approaching each other at 60 mph, the impact would be equivalent to one car hitting a solid steel wall at 60mph.Newtons third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a car is traveling at 60 mph and hits a solid steel wall, the wall applies a force equal to 60 mph back toward the car. This is the same as if a car that is traveling at 60 mph hits another car traveling at 60 mph. In both scenarios, the car is traveling at 60 mph and at the point of collision a force equal to 60 mph is imparted on the car.
Where would a wave be located if there was no energy traveling through it?
A wave would be located at its starting point if there was no energy traveling through it.

Where is the nasion bone?
The point in the skull where the nasal and frontal bones unite
When was Point of Impact created?
Point of Impact was created in 1993-03.
How many pages does Point of Impact have?
Point of Impact has 451 pages.
Why do you see a spark when meteorites collide in space?
When meteorites collide in space, the high-speed impact generates immense heat that vaporizes material at the collision point. This vaporization produces a bright flash of light known as a spark. The flash is caused by the rapid release of energy during the collision.
When was Impact Point released?
Impact Point was released on 12/31/2008.

What was the Production Budget for Impact Point?
The Production Budget for Double Impact was $16,000,000.
How do you setup infant car seat in the car?
Attach the back strap of the infant seat to the anchor point in the back of your vehicle (see your vehicle handbook for its location) then place the adult type seatbelt through the fittings in the infant seat. Please note that an infant seat can't be placed where there is a frontal collision airbag fitted.
What is meant by impact?
The point of which one objects hits or collides with another object. (The point of impact).
