Hey all...
I have a question, and I hope it makes sense. Here goes:
If I have a vehicle that weighs some amount, and moves at some speed, does the force at which the vehicle impacts another object relate to the vehicle's speed and weight?
If so, is there a way to calculate the force the moving vehicle imparts on another object when it collides?
Let's say I have a car that weighs 4,000 pounds, and is moving at 10 mph... what force does this produce at impact? How about the same car moving at 60 mph?
Thanks, and sorry for the dumb question!

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.
