LOL! > No, I do know how to use these equations. In fact, I used these equations - or rather ones mathematically equivalent - to derive the equations of motion, and only bothered to provide the links when you didn't seem to understand the equations I had derived. Do you know how to use the equations on the web pages I cited? Why don't you use them to produce the correct answers for what happens when floors collide, just like I did? Because you can't? Or is there some other reason?

The issue is what were the > forces being exerted on the upper block DURING THE COLLISION. No. The forces that occur *during* a collision cannot be determined, and do not form part of the equations of motion for an inelastic collision. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inelastic_collision See any mention of forces? No? So why do you think the forces are an issue during an inelastic collision?

LOL! Well, as subtle as that lie is, it's a clear indication that you know you're wrong. THAT isn't the statement you keep claiming is correct. THIS, AGAIN, is the statement which you're said, about 200 times, is "absolutely correct": "The only two relevant forces acting on the falling block are gravity (mg) and an upward normal force (N) due to its interaction with the lower section of the building." Clearly, the N to which he refers is the mg of the upper section. And just as clearly, he's claiming that it's DURING THE COLLISION. Therefore, taken as a whole, that statement is wrong. DURING THE COLLISION, the relevant force is F=(d/dt)mv (up to the point of failure of the support structure). So just as clearly, the reaction (N) of the support structure is to that force. Not F=mg. If it were F=mg, then the distance from which that upper block had fallen prior to the collision would not matter. But it does matter. If it had fallen from 100 feet, or even 200 feet, the relevant force DURING THE COLLISION would be much greater. Why? Because the 'v' in (d/dt)mv would've been much greater because g would've lasted for a much greater time. So please stop embarrassing yourself. Admit you were wrong, and move on. Your pain could be over just that easily. |
