That's interesting, arkain. I'll have to mull it over.

Let me summerize what I mean.
-A velocity between two objects is rightfully the velocity of either.
-inertia = momentum depending on the frame of reference you happen to be at rest with.
-V^2 is required to comply with the fact that an object at rest in an interaction will supply the same force as the moving object in the opposite direction. (every action has an equal and opposite reaction).
-equal masses will have a consistent interaction. This is, momentum will be conserved and velocity will conserved. The object that takes on the new velocity depends on what frame is at rest relative your observation. Objects of different masses (unequal), can be said that the difference (larger mass minus lesser mass) in mass will dictate the change in velocity of two impacting objects in free space, but the force can only be as great as the lesser mass.
-The kinetic energy equation is an equation to measure the results of interacting objects with velocity relative to them.
-thus kinetic energy itself is that of the momentum of each interacting object, literally as if both are considered moving. The velocities involved and in resutl are entirely relative to your frame of observation.
