Science fail

[essentialsaltes]

Paraphrase of GMA story with a crash test of a Mercedes sedan versus a Smart car (by Mercedes). "The heavier car always hits the smaller car with more force."

Newton's Third Law, bitch! The force is identical. See me after class.

(But because the masses are different, the accelerations are different. While the management type feels a slight jolt, the smug granola eater is catapulted violently into the stratosphere.)

assuming the cars are going the same speed, the heavier car will always carry more momentum, so they weren't terribly far off. Good catch, though.
