Hi Folks! Hope all is well.
So I was reading this news article about a drunk driver ( Bad guy ) who somehow managed to drive in the opposite direction on a highway and crashed into another vehicle head on. The driver of the other car ( Good buy ) died. The bad guy was apparently going about 90 mph when the crash occurred.
Then it dawned on me...
What if the good guy himself, seeing that the crash was inevitable, accelerated his own car to 130 mph and hit the bad guy head on. Would the bad guy's car end up getting the higher amount of the crash force? Would the good guy have a better chance of surviving because the resultant force vector would have dumped all the energy into the bad guy's car? Does the good guy crashing into the bad guy's car help the good guy at all, according to Physics/ Force/ Vectors?
Let me know your thoughts!
