I'm trying to determine the force needed for one object to displace another object underwater. Specifically, Object A strikes Object B hard enough to jettison it from the seafloor up to sea level/land, let's say the Pacific coastline. I have a timeframe in mind, density & mass of the two...
Well if my questions have changed it's only in response to what I'm perceiving as a lack of options. I'm desperately trying to find some equivalency here, so much so that I can live without the answer being exact. I just need a general idea at the least of what kind of yield would grant a...
Like I said it doesn't need to be exact, it just needs to be rational. The scenario in and of itself if hypothetical.
Can I work backwards from 13345.7 psi to get a yield or tnt equivalency? I get water pressure is present at every point while an explosion travels as waves and thus will not hit...
Hmm. Is there a way to calculate the explosion needed to result in the same level of psi? Ignoring the omnipresent psi so deep under water, the water being everywhere, I have the starting point of the number itself. Is there a way to work backwards so to speak to find the explosive yield or TNT...
I take your point about the differences. Clearly the real-life circumstances will vary based upon the specific occurrence.
Well, I guess I'll use the most literal definition of durability. Able to resist wear, decay, etc., well; lasting; enduring.
To give a more human answer, the ability to...
Is there any way, crude as it may be, to find an equivalency between the pressure exerted on an object from layers of atmosphere and the force or energy put on an object from an explosion?
I'm trying to categorize the durability of certain things and I've gotten to a point where instead of...
Thank you very much for the help. One question though:
If the body in question is the size of the moon but has the same gravity as Earth, that would mean said body has an equal-ish amount of mass just denser, wouldn't it? If so, instead of the figure of 0.5 x (7.4 x 10^22 kilograms) x (12,000...
to move a moon-sized body from Earth's orbit?
Background, I've been curious about science my whole life, but I've normally focused on paleontology as I loved dinosaurs growing up. I'm interested in physics but don't know enough regarding forces like gravity or physical forces to calculate...
