Is A Head-On Collision The Same As Hitting A Wall At Twice The Speed? | MythBusters

Описание: In a previous episode Jamie made a claim — that two cars hitting each other head-on at 50 miles per hour is equivalent to one car hitting a solid wall at 100 miles per hour — and the internet immediately disagreed, citing Newton's third law and flooding MythBusters with the kind of detailed, citation-heavy fan mail that demanded a proper response, so Adam and Jamie went out and bought four cars, set up reference crashes at 50 and 100 miles per hour into a solid wall, and then sent two cars at each other at 50 miles per hour to find out once and for all who was right, the man with 30 years of special effects experience or the fans who had been doing physics homework, and the answer is delivered with the kind of slow-motion car crash footage that makes the science impossible to argue with.

Using science as their weapon and curiosity as their fuel, Hollywood special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman spent 14 seasons and 296 episodes testing the world's most popular myths, urban legends, and movie moments. From the Diet Coke & Mentos explosion to surviving an underwater car escape — if it can be tested, they'll test it.
