since you’re just asking questions, it’s called impulse-momentum theorem. if you apply enough force to an object in motion over a long enough period of time, you reduce its momentum.
if you had fast enough reflexes, you could stop a punch to the head without it harming you by moving away from it at nearly the speed it was approaching you. while no human can reliably do that, moving away from any blow reduces the force of that blow by an amount that is measurable.
this is why funding education is so important, people. this is a simple concept that anyone should understand.
I’m not just asking questions I’m trying to show your claim to be false by insisting you explain yourself fully. Now that you’ve explained yourself I can explain how you’re wrong which I couldn’t do when you were arguing by insult and implication.
Your claim is dependent on a linear force application when in fact the picture makes it clear the relevant force is rotational. Higher forces occur at the tip of a swinging bat.
Well one, the baton wasn’t being swung, it was being brought down, and two, the protestor was moving away from the direction of the tip and towards the ground.
Oh. The baton being brought down on the guy wasn’t being swung. That’s what it is. Must just be my lying fucking eyes and personal experience with swinging things overhand ig.
Hey, just asking questions now, are you a product of the american education system?
your argument was that mine was wrong because the baton is being swung with rotational force instead of linear force. the baton was brought straight downwards. is that rotational energy, or linear?
regardless, you would be wrong anyway, because hooks are rotational and boxers still move away from them to lessen their force. I’m going to accept the decades of practical experience they have over the opinions on how physics works from some random person on Lemmy.
