Hello Ron,
that's an easy one. the collisions are identical. ..
F=MA. .. force equals MASS times acceleration, or deceleration
in this case.
this is why they don't give the results of crash tests of
vehicles against different weight classes. then if becomes too
obvious that the safer car IS the heavier car. (or SUV)...
most people won't believe that two cars approaching each other
at 70 mph hit with the same force as one car hitting that
object at 70. they (instinctively) know that 140 is faster than
70, but they're wrong!
