That's what I said, that's what I think happens. Or you need to hear
me say that word starting with y.

Wikipedia:

"The kinetic energy of an object is the extra energy which it
possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to
accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its current velocity.
Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains
this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. Negative work of the
same magnitude would be required to return the body to a state of rest
from that velocity."

This example to me refers to as science of objects moving in space.

The kinetic energy is the working energy with such objects, rocket
science, etc. It relates to modulation of speed of an object.

This idea was more understood by most than I expected when I came
here.

But more so, when I came here, I was hoping somebody might know what
materials might absorb impact momentum and weaken it, be it through
vibrations or heat. But at least the question and theory seems to be
understood, which was a breakthrough.

Gibberish.

That's because you have no clue about energy, momentum, velocity, their
relationship, or how to calculate them.

Gibberish.

As far as gym bags go, they contain something that gives, like sand, instead
of something hard so people won't hurt themselves hitting them.

==========================================
Car tyres get hot when constantly flexed, ask any Formula 1 race enthusiast.
Impacts distort. If you want to try it on steel, bend a wire shirt hanger
back
and forth to break it. Be careful not to scorch your fingers. You have been
warned.
