They have the same momentum (the marble will kill you)

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 hours ago

This is what I assumed. Assuming its non-injurious, the marble will sting a lot more, on the other hand, I'd be under a bowling ball (or holding it.)

If its at a significantly injurious amount of momentum, there is no right answer.

(The bowlingball will also kill you)

[–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 hours ago

A bowling ball imparted with the momentum from a slingshot won't even have the energy to stay air-borne.

The marble imparted with the momentum from a slingshot will fracture or even penetrate your skull.

Momentum is m*v. However, kinetic energy is (1/2)m*v^2, where the velocity is providing exponentially more to the equation.

What happens if you shoot them against each other with the same momentum?

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 4 points 11 hours ago

I'm not a Physicist but since they have the same momentum, the marble will have a higher velocity. Let us assume the bowling ball weighs 6000 gm and the marble weighs 20 gm (average weight), the velocity ratio of the marble to bowling ball is 300:1 (300 times faster).

If we assume that both of them are made of the same material, and you throw the bowling ball at 1 m/s, then the marble is launched at nearly Mach 1. I'm pretty sure it will create a neat hole in the bowling ball.

I could be very wrong as well.

They shatter. And everyone in the vicinity dies by shrapnel.

[–] udon@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Would you rather get hit by bowling ball shrapnel or marble shrapnel?

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

How far am I from the collision?

I'll take a Taco

[–] udon@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Let me put this differently:

You're standing at a lever that can influence the direction of the shrapnel. If you do nothing, 5 people will get hit with bowling ball shrapnel and 1 person with marble shrapnel. If you pull the lever, 5 people will get hit with marble shrapnel and 1 person with bowling ball shrapnel.

What do you do?

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Push a fat man in front of the shrapnel.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 12 hours ago

Don't pull lever, save game. Load game, Pull level.
