Deleting because i was confusing overall frame of reference speed with damage done to the car.


EDIT 2: I feel like im going to have to keep adding qualifiers that in this case the wall is an immovable object that also takes no damage and 100% of the damage is done to the car. In a real life scenario some damage and movement to the wall occurs but have fun calculating that
