    it’s 2025, and people on Lemmy are asking why stealing the velocity of an object over time reduces its momentum.

    I’m not going to waste my time explaining this to you. if you really are interested in impulse-momentum theorem, watch a video on how seatbelts, air bags, and crumple zones protect you when you get into a car accident.

      I’m routinely surprised by just how confidentiality wrong a lot of Lemmy users are about pretty basic things. Like at least on reddit, those people would get corrected and buried in most sane boards at least, but here there seems to be an abundance of those who just want to be incorrect about dumb shit

            So you fundamentally misunderstand how the autocorrect works, because you blindly trust it.

              I was swipe typing and didn’t reread what I wrote. Because it wasn’t with the effort. You’re trying to read a lot more into this than there is. It’s kind of pathetic. Run along now

      Wow, so many fancy words… how about angular momentum?
      And including the length of the baton and the radius of the trajectory?
      Is the impact stronger if hit near the base of the baton or its extremity?

      Please, get someone to hit you with one under these scenarios, you know, for science.

        it’s OK to just admit you don’t know and were wrong. it doesn’t make you less of a person. this comment didn’t even argue anything, you’re just dragging the conversation out because you don’t have a good response, but want to get the last word in.
