Are you using the contents of the "floor" as mass in a non-elastic collision?. If so then note that this is a tiny fraction of the mass of the moving upper section. As for the columns I'll speak to that next.Again, nobody is contesting that. When you say "floor" you mean literally just the flat span of poured concrete and truss that people walk upon. When I say "floor" I mean the entirety of the space that the elevator moves through from level to level, thus including the exterior and interior support columns which your side like to pretend didn't exist. The "floor" that resists and diminishes the momentum of the falling floor above it includes all of those features, the stairwells, the machinery, the articles, etc.
Still not sure what possible structural support you believe the stairwells are giving. You do know the walls were simply double thickness of drywall?If I actually believed you could somehow consolidate all of the upper tower's momentum onto weak floor joints while miraculously bypassing the outer box columns, stairwells, inner columns, etc we wouldn't be having this discussion.

You said you were subtracting, lessening, reducing KE by a value of p. Not me.KE of the initial falling mass, minus the momentum of one floor.
As for actual load bearing structure:
Initial collapse occurs, the gif of this event for WTC2 that ozeco posted several times illustrates that the upper block has rotated about its CoG. The column sections of that upper block simply cannot line up to direct impact forces as an axial load on the lower section columns.
Correct.Therefore ALL of the moving mass of that upper section will hit the floor span. The floor span was connected to the columns by components designed to transfer the normal loading on ONE floor space. The dynamic loading of the entire upper section is orders of magnitude greater than those components were designed to handle.
KE reduced by p
KE less than the component p
Still makes no sense. Try again.
In your heart apparently.... positrons man, positrons...
I said there would be less KE upon the next impact iteration, and pointed out that this would be because momentum was used up in destruction. So I said there would be less momentum. Then in typical disinfo fashion Jay claimed I tried to subtract p from KE. I used a fractional format to represent the depleting momentum in a pattern that matched Grizzle's analysis.
50 vs 32 your point is?For random example:
1/2(10)^2 vs 1/2(8)^2
Capiche?

.....and stationary mass was never set in motion?Diminishing return... Each iteration of impact yields less and less destruction.

I still like the answer of 9 volts............
Diminishing return... Each iteration of impact yields less and less destruction.

Proof there is no useful knowledge of physics. What units is this in? lolNo
1/2 ((14/15)m1(14/15)v1))2=KE
Really??![]()
It was green .....![]()
According to the writings of a great man its actually 42.
Then again, an improbability drive would explain a lot.
Your assertion has not been misunderstood. Your reasoning and descriptions don't make senseDiminishing return... Each iteration of impact yields less and less destruction.
