Common Sense

[beachnut]

The concrete in the buildings were pulverized into dust, and the outer steel framing was catapulted over 300-500 feet away from the building... I would say there is a great force at work. Maybe a force that's even strong enough to crush an entire 110 story steel-structure building.

It is called gravity; it is a strong force. It kills thousands every year. Look it up Sherlock.

Ladies and Gentlemen. I present for your pleasure gravity. It is used by CD to destroy buildings. CD uses small charges to guide the building to fall in a certain way. But gravity does the work. Gravity is used to power cities. 28th, are you really as uneducated as you appear to be?

If explosive charges had been used in the WTC we would have heard the telltale sound of RDX. Since there is no proof of RDX, wires, detonators, and proof charges were planted we are missing the fact required to make the leap 28th has taken into insanity of lies promoted by our boy wonder. If explosive charges were used the building would fall differently; just a note!

BTW genus. The dust was mostly wallboard. You could look this up if you were not so busy drooling allover your keyboard.

Gravity is the strong force boy wonder. Gravity! Did I say Gravity? (1,000,000,000,000 joules in each tower, being equal to 248 tons of TNT; think that is a strong force? YES)

Show you calculations please. What is the freefall time for a 415m tall steel-structured building? Are you a man... can you step up or do you just want to name call like a little girl?

... and a sexist too ...

 

[28th Kingdom]

displacement = (original velocity x time) + (1/2)*(acceleration x time x time)

displacement from freefall = (original velocity x time) + (1/2)*(gravity x time x time)

There, so next time you try using physics, you actually look smarter than a doorknob.

So you tell, us:

What is the freefall time for a 415m tall steel-structured building?

I was going off of freefall times that someone else came up with. According to this video, freefall for flat steel beams would be 5.6 seconds over the distance of 100 meters.

So we divide 100 meters into the height of WTC 2 (415m) We get 4.15.

4.15 X 5.6 = 23.24 seconds.

This needs saved for posterity.

IQ of 150? I think you forgot the decimal point.

 

[Yawn]

I was going off of freefall times that someone else came up with. According to this video, freefall for steel beams a certain size would be 4.7 seconds over the distance of 100 meters.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ml_n5gJgQ_U

So we divide 100 meters into the height of WTC 2 (415m) We get 4.15.

4.15 X 4.7 = 19.505 seconds.

OMG Did you learn physics from the back of Kellogs packets?

Its rhetorical btw, I really am asleep now.

Move along everyone, nothing to see here...

Your question has been answered before, oh self proclaimed genius, who doesn't understand that the mass accelerates as it falls. You can't just multiply it like that.

 

[GlennB]

Oh friend... don't worry I've got a Perry Mason moment coming for you... so roughly, how many feet does an object fall per second at freefall? And, by roughly I mean... as close as you can get it.

By asking this question you reveal your ignorance of basic science.

Honestly, you should be asking what the acceleration is of a building that falls (distance) in (time). That'd give you a better idea of comparison. I'm not doing your homework for you.

 

[28th Kingdom]

Actually, I would say that the freefall times for the upper mass of floors on WTC 2 is 14 seconds...since you can obviously hear and see the effects of the upper mass crashing into the ground in this video:

At 14 seconds in...you hear a loud impact followed by scattering glass...surely there wasn't any glass left from the lower floors, because the walls were all blown to bits...

What grade level did you leave school? Are you Charlie Sheen? You should have finished high school!

Are you a man... than act like one. You are the one claiming I'm too stupid to calculate this... so now, it is upon you to prove that you have the ability to do such... otherwise, you're a 38374749.

Keep diggin that hole buddy.

We have a nice feature here called "imbedded videos"
You just need to insert the end-code from the youtube
video into YT -Tags:

And you get this imbedded video:

Why should anyone do the work for you. Its too much fun watching you wallow in ignorance.

 

[Skibum]

Perhaps this little blunder will make him realize he doesn't know squat about physics or anything else he rambles on about and force him to go learn how reality really works... but I doubt it.

 

[28th Kingdom]

Skibum...

I want you to go back and read all of your posts in this thread... Go do that for me.

What I need is for you... to go back and look at how worthless your input has been in this thread.

Go do it... that's your homework assignment. And... unless, you plan to contribute something other than insults... please refrain from opening yer mouth.

Ever

Again

Do you not understand how pointless and trivial your opinions are? Do you not understand how little I care...about what you personally think of me? Do you not understand that? Your words have less value than the bacteria growing under my toenails.

28th - common sense - move on to the next great law of physics to be broken.

I forgot to think 28th does not understand simple acceleration! The fact I learned with broken bones and teeth; and I understood acceleration. But as we see who can skip the most steps on the stairs or just jump all the way to the basement; you will understand acceleration (common sense).

But I never expected 28th with his 150 IQ to mess up gravity. The force he has ignored. I suppose acceleration is hard to grasp if you have an IQ of 150!

You already proved that.

You know 28K, if you had the slightest interest in knowing the truth you would drop this arrogant act of yours and actually try to learn from the people here who have shown time and again that they know so much more than you.

But sadly there is some defect in your life which makes you act the way you do and it appears unlikely that you will ever progress past your own over inflated opinion of your intellectual abilities unless you deal with whatever it is that makes you behave in this way.

Stay here, inquire and learn, or take your BS somewhere else.

I am giving you an opportunity to not look like an insepid moron. Just take it already.

God is laughing at you Skibum.
