Last year, I dreamt I was pissing at a restroom, but I missed the urinal and my penis exploded.
Yeh, it looks good for someone who didnt learn latin.For someone who did learn it, the declension is wrong, and im not even sure if you picked the correct words.Translated, it should be something like the wished translation. But im not completely sure that i picked the correct gram. cases, so here are 2-3 possible translations:Draco Astri Incendiorum~ "dragon of the star fires"Draco Incendii Astrorum~ "dragon of the fire of the stars"Draco Astri Incendii~ "dragon of the star of fire"Yours would be something like "dragon star fires"Its a bit hard to do the back translating only with nouns/adjectives without having it in a sentence, as there can be multiple translations, depending on which gram. case you choose, and you cant find it by reading the context, as there is none.

I formed that translation based on how some languages are backward, compared to English, like Irish or French, with the noun being described by adjectives and the adjectives coming after it. I'm not even too sure if thats a correct assumption but it sounds right. Thanks again.Oh, and here's a sentence for you if it helps. "The Starfire Dragon descended from the clouds, bestowing awe and wonder on all who gazed upon it" (I'm a sucker for dramatics and descriptive writing :3)
That's not even close to descriptive...And I think it translates (Literal translation) to astri flamma extraxi.

I used the words for which i was sure that they have the meaning of the wished word.Flamma version:Draco Astri FlammarumDraco Flammae AstrorumDraco Astri FlamaeIn english, both flamma and incendius mean the same, but they do have a different meaning:Flamma, -ae, f.~ a controled fire, like a small flameIncendius, -i, n.~ an uncontroled fire, like a forest fire, you now, the thing that destroys stuff.
If 2 identical cars would have a face to face hit, one going at 100mph/kmph (don t mind the speed) and the other standing still, which car will have the most damage?
If the static car remains with v=0m/s, the damage should be identical, unless the elasticity forces become big enough to create a visible effect.Otherwise, the static car would get the most kinetic energy transferred to it from the moving car, and would be pushed backwards, which might lower the impact damage for one of them.

The car doesn't necessarily have 0 momentum, actually. It all depends on what your reference frame is.In this case, the only two objects that matter are the two cars. When they collide, they'll share the energy of the collision regardless of which car is moving relative to which frame.It's all equal damage.
Since the target car will have the greater energy and velocity upon impact, it has the greater deformation potential, no?
