My favorite professor in engineering school always had great questions on his tests. One of the test quesstions in Dynamics, as far as I can remember the question, was a 3500# VW microbus loaded with hippies doing 75 mph gets in a non-elastic collision and no parts are lost with an 80,000# semi doing 35. What is the final speed, and the velocity changes. The VW has a 105 mph change in velocity and the truck loses 5 mph. Loogy needs to read, "Run Silent, Run Deep". Although it's fiction, it does give a decent accounting of the torpedo problems we had in the Pacific against the Japanese. Torpedos without an explosion don't give *nearly* the bang for the buck. -- John, are you really trying to say that the mass is the only factor and that the velocity of that mass doesn't do anything??? Really? Oh boy...two of our best morons, herring and notnowloogy, locking antlers. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WORKING TO IMPROVE REC.BOATS. |
