My teacher assigned us a mini-project. We have to find a video of a car crash, head on collision, etc. Anything that has momentum,force, etc. and desrcibe it in physics terms. Anyone that isn't to busy and would like to email with me about it PLEASE LET ME KNOW.. I NEED THIS GRADE

These days digital cameras can record video upto a few minutes.
These are several ideas that you could try
1) get a toy car and run it into the wall, you can explain that force is the same (newton's 3rd law), impulse is the same,but change in velocity is different for the car and the wall (car's mass is smaller, so it undergous bigger change in velocity, while wall does not move because of inertia)
2) get two exactly the same toy cars and push them towards each other
3) get one big toy car and another small toy car and push them towards each other
4) get two different toy cars and attach a small piece of velcro in front of each car and push them towards each other (conservation of momentum), they will stick together and move in one direction at some speed [you can use this formula m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m2)v to calculate final speed]
