He's an IT slave, Okie. Don't be harsh on him. He didn't have to take calculus and physics for engineers. If he took those at all, they were the survey course versions.

I definitely did not take any kind of physics, except for electrical.

But I do know that where 2 objects are moving the same speed, the one with more mass will hit harder.

The problem is that kinetic energy is the quantity of mass times velocity squared divided by two ([mv^2]/2). If you increased either of the terms but not the other by 10%, an increase in velocity would result in exponentially more kinetic energy than an increase in mass.

Force (mass times acceleration) represents the initial exertion of energy that put the projectile in motion. It really has no immediate bearing on the impact of the projectile. You have to calculate the velocity of the round at any given point in the round's trajectory to figure out what it will do to a target.

Then you have all kinds of strength of materials issues to calculate..

We also need to take into account solar winds and the Coriolis effect.

I wonder if you could measure coriolis effect on very long range trajectories. Like that two-mile shot.

It has to have a pretty measurable effect.

To get a measurement that precise you would have to use scoville units

LOL

I bet it's extremely measurable depending upon the direction you fire.

Would the bullet be subject to the Coriolis effect, or the Oberth effect? Or are they the same?

Prions might also damage the bullet and affect its course.

still doesn't mean that mass means as much as velocity.

for fucks sake man.

you said this,

I'm suggesting that the mass of the bullet probably plays a significant role here, as much as the speed.

which is false, and i explained that to you. did hash have you sign a contract preventing you from ever admitting you are wrong?
