Physics of Car Crashes

There are a lot of crashes in this video! We stop a car at different distances and graph the average stopping force versus distance and explore the concept of crumple zone to increase stopping distance in a crash. Also examined is how the energy and damage depends on square of speed, as well as how stopping distance depends on square of speed.
