Hello!
I wonder what kind of vehicle (small or big) would be best in a head-on car crash with another car. I also wonder where the safest seat is in a head-on car crash, like where could I sit to get as least/lightly damage as I can. I am trying to understand this but I have trouble finding the connections to this with kinetic energy, impulse, momentum, power, and acceleration. I would apprentice if you could help.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

K.E.=21mv2
p=mv
multiplying 2m on both sides
K.E×m×2=21mv2×m×2
2mK.E.=m2v2
substituting the value of p in the above equation we get
