A formula commonly used to calculate velocity change in vehicle collision is discussed. A new derivation of this formula from the conservation laws and other equation for planar motion is presented. The derivation does not rely on knowledge of the particular way in which vehicles deform in collisions. Further, it highlights and clarifies the conditions under which the commonly used formula is valid. In particular, the assumption that there is a point on each vehicle which achieves a common velocity is investigated and clarified.
