Kinetic Energy questions

I want to calculate feats with kinetic energy, where the feats is a character bouncing and being hit by the front of the train (more precisely the glass so that the character enters the carriage), what is the mass used? Is it the weight of the train carriage only, or the weight of the whole train?
 
Can you show us scans so that we can determine whether linear momentum would apply or not?
 
Both seem to just be for smashing into glass. I remember something like train glass being able to withstand RPG-7 projectiles but those are for Italian trains only.

Sad. I thought it could generate high energy from the EC. But since it can't use the mass of the train, it must be a small result. I will not calculate it.

Thank you for answering
 
What? The feat is only the character that was hit, not the train that was hit
That depends on frame of reference. If the train keeps moving after the collision it means its kinetic energy was not absorbed.
