If you know the weight of both objects, and the distance an at rest moved (object "a") after being struck by the other object (object"b"), and the approximate friction (an ice covered road),
Could you figure the speed of object "b" when it struck object "a" ?
You might be able to guess that my fairly heavy vehicle got struck in the middle of an icy intersection by a much lighter vehicle, It travelled way farther than I would expect, jumping a curb and a small retaining wall before coming to rest. It was t-boned so it was sliding sideways to begin with.
I suspect object "b" was travelling way more that 25 mph.
Anybody know a formula that might help me???
