The added mass causes more damage to the chassis. The Chassis has to absorb the kinetic energy. Where the mass is located in the vehicle can cause the car to spin in a certain direction or even flip.

If two toy cars of the same mass are moving from the opposite directions will they collide at a half way point and what will happen after the collision?

Yes, if two toy cars of the same mass are moving towards each other, they will collide at the halfway point. After the collision, their velocities will change according to the principles of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy. The cars will bounce off each other in opposite directions, with the total momentum remaining the same before and after the collision.


Will two cars traveling at the same speed come to rest at the point of impact in a frontal collision?

In general, they will not. Remember that momentum must be conserved, and momentum is the product of mass x velocity. If the cars happen to have the same mass, as well as the same speed, then their combined momentum will indeed be zero. But if one of the cars has a larger mass, their total momentum before the collision will NOT be zero, so the combined cars (after the crash) will continue moving for a while, until slowed down by friction.


Why a high speed collision between two cars would cause more damage than low speed collision between the same two cars?

There's more force exerted in the high speed collision.

Why does a high-speed collision between two cars have more damage than a low-speed collision between two cars?

There is more kinetic energy in the collision involving the high-speed cars than there is in the collision involving the low-speed cars, resulting in a greater amount of force exerted on each car, prompting more damage.
