Subsequent calculations
Any and all calculations y'all can come up with are more than welcome - and they don't even have to be correct, just as long as they're interesting.
E=mc2
- Beginning with perhaps one of the most famous equations of all time, let's calcluate how much energy would be produced by the wee brown nuggets of joy given to me by my favourite feline. Subsitute 194.00 for m, and using 300000 km/s as the speed of light, we end up with:
- E= 194.00*(300000*300000)
- E= 194.00*90000000000
- E= 17460000000000 g/ms2
Or more than enough energy to completely vapourize my cat.
Potential & Kinetic Energy
- Ok. Good thing this ain't no scientific paper, 'cuz we're makin' a bunch of assumptions here.
Potential Energy
- Ok. Using P.E.=mgh where m=mass (Big Assumption #1 - we'll say, oh, 1265kg for the car and another 300kg for everything else), g=gravitational acceleration constant (9.8 m/s2), and h=height (only recorded once over the course of the intrusion at 720m) we end up with the following:
- P.E. = (1565)*(9.8)*(720)
- P.E. = 11042640 kg/m/s2
Kinetic Energy
- K.E=0.5mv2 where v=velocity and m=mass. In this case, we'll calculate velocity as distance over time - why? Why not.
- K.E. = 0.5*(1565)*[(2128*1000)/(178.5*3600)]
- K.E. = 0.5*(1565)*[2128000/642600]
- K.E. = 0.5*(1565)*(3.31)
- K.E. = 2590.08 kg/m/s2
