Yaris vs. Camry - Yaris looses

You are incorrect here, Mr. Hilton. Simple physics, Newton's third law/conservation of momentum. If both vehicles weighed the same (Mass a=b) and they were traveling the same velocity and collided head on - this situation would be equivalent to a single vehicle collision into an immovable barrier (the Dozer in Vanishing Point?). What added to the structural damage is the 1/3 offset and the 1/2 tonne extra mass of the Camry. Without going through the calculus, I estimate a 50mph barrier collision. The Yaris damage in this trial isnt that much worse than vehicle structures 10 years ago; survivable but with injuries. Still ugly.

You are totally incorrect, from start to finish.

hahahahaha PWND

silkysmooth, give this a try. run into a wall at 10mph

then run into a buddy who's also running 10mph at you

let us know which one hurts more

I can answer that one , i suffered a serious head injury 2.5yr's ago
from doing just that , except it was a steel beam , and accordding to the doctors , and speacialist's it's worse than a 100mph crash.
three contusion's and neck and shoulder damage , 3 operations
last one 8 weeks ago and another in 5 weeks .
if you are worried about getting hurt stay of the roads
and i am yet to return too work

Back to school, the whole lot of you! You guys probably think a ten pound weight falls faster than a 3 pound weight. Flat-earthers ...

I'll bet my 10-pound cannon ball falls faster than your 3-pound pillow.

Wont bet you on that one

we're not talking about acceleration here dude, just simple math

Math? We are solving a physics Equation, you must know the Physical Laws of Nature before you can proceed.

I have no hope for the World anymore; Idiocracy Rules!

Tamago, your signature reminds me of this.

You know, I think you're right about the two equal mass cars slamming into each other exactly head on being just about like one of them slamming into an immovable fixed barrier at the same speed. I was thinking of one of them slamming into a similar stationary one at double the speed, which would also be equivalent. Sorry!

Thanks, Mr Hilton :) I Appreciate that, muchly!
Short story, I had a fist fight when I was a kid with my best friend playing poker over what card was higher value, King or Queen. I incorrectly thought Queen and vehemently defended my misguided "fact". I was wrong, and feel bad about that fight to this day. I'm sure I'll be wrong here and there, but I try to be carefull when I'm guessing or supposing, I'll say that, and not pose my opinions as facts. Sorta like at University where you have to footnote your references.

Now for fun, here is a picture of a Ford F150 extended cab into a "soft" offset barrier at 40 MPH, that the Yaris passed with GOOD rating. The Ford did POOR.
