Quoth Erin View PostWhy is it that people never apologize when they ram into you with the electric scooters or regular shopping carts? They just book it on out of there."I call murder on that!"

Quoth crazylegs View PostKinetic Energy = 1/2 MxV (squared)
M - Mass
V - Velocity
So if the thing weighs a large amount the energy applied will be quite high even if the speed is reasonably low - however speed will give much more impressive results.
(Knowing this equation ya'll know the scientific reason as to why trains make such a mess of anything that gets in its way)
That's how bullets work (I'm a shooter) the formula we use is:
velocity x 2 x bullet weight in grains divided by 450,400
e.g.
230 grain bullet at 850 feet per second (standard .45 ACP) = 368.94 foot-pounds of energy."If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you.This is the principal difference between a man and a dog"
