Doesn't matter. When Trump is Emperor President, we're gonna have the best cannonballs. They'll drop so fast, you wouldn't believe how fast. We don't need to waste time doing math, alright? They're gonna be big, they're gonna be fast, and they're gonna leave a yuuuge crater. And we're gonna drop them on ISIS's family, and that'll be that. Problem solved.

You forgot to mention they'll be YUGE.

Wait, this was the Ameripol thread the entire time?!

At the maximum possible speed, the cannonball would just convert it's mass into energy.

e=mc^2

m=10kg
c=3*10^8

e=9*10^17J

asteroid that killed the dinosaurs released about 4*10^20J

Therefore, a cannonball does not have enough mass to destroy the earth

[TheBiggerFish]

What about relativistic mass?  Or something.

[smjjames]

Maybe split the derail to the mathematics help thread or something? Just saying as it is a derail.

WTF is reletivistic mass?

Incorrect. Kinetic energy is uncapped, and has nothing to do with mass-energy conversion.

Spoiler: With sincerest apologies to, uh, that... guy...? (click to show/hide)

I'm aware he's the antagonist. I'm still apologizing.

Come on guys, don't make Toady One have to come over here and carve out a chunk of the thread.

Fuck.

What state? I had ones for Clinton and Sanders for a couple of weeks here in California, but those apparently went away.

[origamiscienceguy]

yeah, that's what I did. e=mc^2

the moment that cannonball hits anything (like the atmosphere) it would vaporize into plasma and would raise the average temperature of earth's atmosphere by about...

*calculating*

.00017K

So... Yeah.

Wisconsin. 20 days to go.

Bizarre thing was it was on a Fox affiliate for Bernie.

*waves airplane director strobe light thingies and directs the derail to another thread*

e = mc² is mass energy. Kinetic energy is mv², with m dependent on v by a formula I don't know.
