[edit] Tom Pryce/Jansen Van Vuuren collision
Copied from Helpdesk. I thought it was an interesting question and maybe of some use.
hey folks, i have a doubt about the tom pryce fatal crash: i dont know how much a f1 racing car weighed at 1977 but i think that jansen, who was crossing the track at 2km p/h weighed 68 kgs, and he was hit by the car at 350 km p/h, please i wanna know how much the impact weighed, thanks.--201.9.73.29 21:50, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but your question about Tom Pryce doesn't make sense as written. Could you perhaps explain what your doubt is about the crash, rather than asking for a specific quantity (collisions don't have mass), and maybe somebody could help. --Robert Merkel 23:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

- He was asking about Tom Pryce. I don't know what the weight is without knowing the acceleration. However, here are some calculations for momentum (in SI units), assuming Pryce was moving at 5.0 km/h (2km/h is very slow):
- MomentumPryce walking = 68kg × 5.0 km/h × 1000 m/km × 1h/3600s = 94.44444444 kg m/s
- MomentumCar = 605kg × 350 km/h × 1000 m/km × 1h/3600s = 58,819.44444 kg m/s
- |MomentumSum| = √ (MomentumPryce walking2 + MomentumCar2) = 58,819.52027 kg m/s
- Angle = tan(94.44444444 ÷ 58,819.44444) = 0.091998025°
- I hope these are correct (and helpful), it's been a while since I've done trig. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 23:33, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually was Jansen Van Vuuren(who was a safety marshal) who was walking the track, and Pyrce was the guy piloting the f1 car, being hit by 58 tons is really scary, but this helped, thanks.--201.9.11.148 00:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

- If by "what the impact weighed", you mean the force imparted, then the impulse imparted to Vuuren, assuming that he was crossing the track perpendicular to the direction of the car (hence his velocity in that direction was 0), would have been ~58,819 kg m/s (or Ns). The collision would have taken place in a fraction of a second, so he would have experienced a force of well over 59,819 Newtons, equivalent to almost 6 tonnes of force.
