Hi, I would like the simplest way to calculate the momentum a spaceship would have when it collides with another spaceship.
If you have 2 cars on a road travelling at 90MPH and one of them sideswipes the other, its collision speed isnt 90MPH its about 20MPH (sideways) motion.
If 2 cars hit each other in a head-on collision the collision speed is 180MPH
Is there a formula to calculate how 2 entities should behave after a collision? (in 3D)
or failing that, a tokamak tutorial?
