"Newton's Law"
Would be a great name for a cop show. "Lieutenant Jim Newton brings justice on his terms. PHYSICAL justice. He will show the bad guys the blunt end of THE FORCE. Every bad action has an equal and opposite ASS KICKING." |

dont think so, doesnt the mass have something to do with it?

Yes G. Its like OP doesn't even differentiate between me sitting on you and you sitting on me

The entire original posted (and nonsense around it) is a total waste of time anyway, you don't need to understand any physics just have a tiny bit of common sense. The side of the building was in effect grid with glass in all the spaces, you don't need to be a genius to undertand if you fly a fuel laden plane 500 mph at a grid the plane and fuel is going to easily penetrate the glass like it wasn't there and take a lot of the other facing structure with it. Even if the structure didn't give at all it would penetrate the building.
IT's sheer lunacy to suggest there is some sort of conspiracy required to do so. The sheer stupidity of "The wings would break off immediately upon contact and the plane would explode. It would not enter the tower and then explode. The plane would simply be obliterated to pieces by the steel box columns and steel and concrete floor trusses before it got anywhere near the inside of the tower." just defies belief. And it's not like it didn't happen on live camera in front of 100000s of live witnesses in the densely populated downtown of one of the worlds biggest cities. Conspiracy nuts really deserve that title. |

"Actually happening on camera in front of a huge amount of witnesses and totally understandable" trumps "whack job lunatic conspiracy theories" every time in my book but maybe that's just me.

Remember Terry & the son of God claim all "false flag " attacks don't have CCTV Yet there is loads of photographic evidence to disprove Terry/John/SOG theories. It is almost as if those guys post racist lies. And still the tin foil hat loons refuse to answer a simple Physics question on a Physics thread which a child of average intelligence could answer. |

By:
Actually the OP only pasted a small part of the article.
If you go to the website there's a lot of pages of even more nonsense on the exact same subject. |

as far as I know there was no CCTV footage of the first plane hitting the towers either is there?

So you are standing on the pavement and 90 stories up on a roof is a guy with a 3 tonne bag of coal and one with a 3 tonne bag of feathers.
You are obliged to choose one to be dropped on your head. Decide |

Nor is it the same as evidence of absence of evidence. |

feathers.......yes who wouldn't Det
But what would Newton say to that......... |

Newton would say feathers too.

I seem to remember from when i was a 14 yr old school kid the effect would be equal due to gravity......
|
|
By:
Yes it would be. So what?
|
|
By:
So why does everyone choose feathers.............
|
|
By:
You're taking a very simple thing and forgetting two huge factors.
Factor #1 that what you are talking about is in a vacuum, in air, the effect would be huge. The feathers unless incredibly compressed would be a massively larger area and reach a considerably lower terminal velocity. Factor #2 is related, the coal would be dense and as good as a hammer hitting you. A 3 ton bag of feathers would be considerably larger and looser and much MUCH more give so unless the bag was unusually rigid the impluse applied would be much less, in fact if it was loose enough you could imagine it folding over you and you surving. For impulse think of it the other way, it's the amount of force over the unit time. So imagine dropping an egg from the exact same height onto a concrete floor, then the exact same height but onto a concrete floor covered with a deep enough layer of feathers. The impulse is much LESS in the feather case. It's why you have crumple zones in cars and compressing material in helmets and so on. |

what a depressing thread. why do you fools waste time on such nonsense? wanchors like enry find tiny possible discrepancies and make a massive leap to it being planned by the state. they dont have to explain why or how, just say'that doesnt seem right' and jump to a gigantic and grotesque mass-murder theory. it is as sensible as debating the scientific basis for astrology.
enry is a tragic obese lonely auto-eroticist who should find more useful ways to spend time, like planning his suicide. maybe his ashes could be shot into space? a pleasing outcome. |

By:
Yes Det but that answer does not align JCs answer so.

By:
I totally agree grappler
, I pointed out his trolling earlier, but I'm not arguing with enry the troll, the thread has moved on from that. I'm now explaining terminal velocity and impulse so someone might learn something ;) |

The "dropping two items one light and one heavy" experiment was conceptualised many years ago (I've a feeling by d'vinci, was the leaning tower of pizza involved at some point?) but you have to do it in a vacuum. THere are videos on youtube of them doing it in vacuums, I think one of the moon missions they dropped a feather and a hammer.
Now of course I've mentioned moon missions and like a red rag to a bull the conspiracy nuts will move on to saying THEY are faked so .. you can't win :) |

Thanks grappler,you have saved us.

so?
that's the bleedin point, innit............ ![]() |

By:
Feather and hammer drop on moon is on youtube. But even then in a vaccum as I say the denser object would do more damage.
If you said "3 tonnes of feathers in a steel box, in a vacuum" I don't think it would matter, which is what you are driving at. |

yes JC, it is, though i rightly chose biology..........
