Kinematics Problem From Hell

The classic bait-and-switch physics problem takes a dark turn! What starts as a typical kinematics calculation (complete with masses and velocities) suddenly reveals itself as a confession. The punchline isn't about conservation of momentum or calculating the final velocity—it's about the driver losing their license after a hit-and-run. Physics teachers everywhere are simultaneously horrified and secretly impressed by this subversion of academic expectations. The cold, calculated setup makes the macabre twist even more effective than any equation could.
