Aye this may be true, in theory but in application is it really? The instant momentum change and resulting G-force might be less if they are moving, but it might also be much worse if the resulting car was to spin out and hit a concrete wall. So much for crumple zones and concrete walls. I guess I'm over analysing this.
And in general its better to hit a moving car because you feel much less retarded about it afterwords.
we are assuming a dead-on collision in a vacuum. of course, everything works in theory.
in application, spinning out would actually be wonderful. the resulting friction from the tires, as well as the force expended through the centrifugal forces at work on the car would remarkably lesson the Fn [shock to you]. However, your car would be sux0red.
