Guys, I don't think ergo even knows what a free body diagram is. It's amusing watching him use Newton as some sort of Get out of Jail Free card.

I seem to remember something about "a body in motion tends to stay in motion" but I don't think that's the part he wants to hang his hat on.
 
No, why would I? You don't need a diagram to have this discussion. You're just avoiding answering the question.
 
I don't know how to draw?

Why do you need things in pictures? Do you not understand the words? If pictures are what speaks to you, please draw your free body diagram demonstrating that the lower block will be affected disproportionately to the upper block in a collision.

You know it's not a sin to admit you can't do something. That's how we adults do things.
 
I'm pretty sure I could draw a picture of it. I am not going to take the time to do so, when it won't prove any new point. This is just a diversionary tactic.

If you like free body diagrams so much please draw one demonstrating that the lower block will be affected disproportionately to the upper block in a collision. And do it quickly, please! Science denialism hangs in the balance!

It's fun watching you squirm.


BTW a "free body diagram" also includes the equations. (You should have looked at AZ's link)

Understood, like idling engines, work to move stuff sideways, etc. I think tfk put this idea into my head some time ago.

The kinetic energy to be released is E=mgh. It is over 130 tons of TNT per tower. Ever seen what 130 2,000 pound bomb would do to one small area? This is what ergo can't comprehend, E=mgh and more.

Ergo is trying to be Balsamo at failed physics.

The stored energy in the WTC is E=mgh, the "real" work done to get the stuff up there. Over 130 ton of TNT energy.

Oooo, yeah! Nailed me on free body diagrams. Ouch! Especially when I was claiming to be such an expert on them!

So anyway. Please explain (or draw, if you prefer) how a gravitational collision will affect the lower body disproportionately to the upper body.

You can't do physics on a practical level and you repeat lies and hearsay on 911. you can't do the free diagram, you don't do science, math, or physics. You are fooled by people who make up lies about 911 and you support them without evidence, knowledge, or the capability to check what they say. You are a follower, and you picked the group which has perfected failure for 8 years. I prefer trying to be as good at figuring out things as the Passengers on Flight 93 who did in minutes what eludes you for over 8 years! Figured out 911 and took ACTION! You post lies from other people and expose your complete ignorance on how to apply physics.

Not an action to be proud of, exposing your ignorance on 911, spreading lies.

This is one of the funniest evasions ever seen here. You are like a kid, "I could do it, but I don't want to!" Would you really believe what the FBD told you if someone here did it for you? If you do it yourself, you may understand.
 
And you folks don't answer questions.

Please explain how a gravitational collision will affect the lower body disproportionately to the upper body.
 
This thread went from educational (the very beginning) to sad (when ergo entered) to extremely funny (when ergo stayed) and is now back to educational, while remaining extremely funny.

This is accurate. I went through a couple of those free body diagram presentations. Interesting stuff, in that it seems counterintuitive at times.
 
which came first, the egg or the brick

I predict Ergo won't understand the above post.

I also predict that my prediction will not qualify me to win $1 million.

But maybe both of those will be enough...
