    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.
