Just as there is the law of conservation of energy, there is also the law of conservation of momentum. Both explain it equally well IMO.

- p1mrx 4y agoHow can mv and mv² explain the damage "equally well", when one is linear and the other is quadratic with respect to velocity?
- mynameisvlad 4y agoThe point is the extreme magnitude of difference between a car and a bike/person. This shows it just fine.
- wiredfool 4y agoMomentum is always conserved. Energy is partially conserved. If it squishes, it will be more like MV, if it bounces, it's more like 1/2 mv^2.
