If the whole mass of the alleged airliner is considered in the calculation of how much KE was available to penetrate the tower wall, then the entire aircraft would have to be involved in the act of penetration, therefore any using up of KE in the act of penetrating the wall would have to slow down the entire aircraft as it penetrates the wall.
Here's another example and question for you to ponder that might help your "understanding" of physics.
If I swing an ax a wooden log using the flat side of the ax head it bounces off the log and painfully jars my arms. Yet if I swing that same ax and strike the wooden log with the sharpened edge of the same ax, it splits it.
Please explain why that happens in scientific terms. Let's see what you actually know.
I can't tell you how disappointing it is to watch Spammy - who seemingly loves to play "Pretend Physics" - tuck tail and run when someone offers to accommodate his silliness. You've been at this long enough to know most here will not play his childish games but in the end he will just wait until you leave before returning to play his silly game again. It's the nature of the "Truther" beast.

As I have said many times, his "understanding" of physics is incorrect. That's why I asked the questions I did. I bet he's pondering them now trying to figure out how he can save face as he realizes that he was terribly wrong.
He can't even cite where he got his "the percentage of weight applied by a falling object to an object below it is the inverse percentage of the total weight of the falling object".
According to him, something falling at 64% of the acceleration of gravity is only expressing 36% of its weight against whatever is under it. Using this "formula" this means that if something is falling at 70% of g, the object is expressing 30% of it's weight on whatever is under it. If something is falling at 99% of g, it's expressing 1% of it's weight on an something below it.
That makes no sense whatsoever.
it's from a debate on a twoofer site. I can't recall which
His garbage makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I'm trying to create a physical example, but I can't.
First, try defining what the statement "falling at 64% of g" means. An object ALWAYS has gravity trying to pull it down at 9.8 m/s2. Saying that an object is falling at a CONSISTENT rate of 64% of g means there is some type of resistance CONSTANTLY being applied to the descending object in order to impede it from reaching 100% of g. In this case, resistance is being applied from below. The only way to apply CONSISTENT resistance to a descending object that I can think of is to use a CONSISTENT medium such as a liquid or gel-like substance that the object falls through.
In the case of the multiple shelves example given previously, the object in question would initially fall at 9.8 m/s2, then slow down upon impacting the first shelf, return to falling at 9.8 m/s2 after breaking through the shelf, hit the second shelf and slow down, return to falling at 9.8 m/s2 after breaking the second shelf, etc. This in no way a consistent rate of acceleration, but an AVERAGE.
The other side of this is how can an ACCELERATING object, not apply MORE than it's weight when impacting an object. Such as a 35 pound weight dropped upon a shelf from 100. Is n0spam saying that the impact force felt by the shelf was only 35 lbs?
This is why he hasn't responded. Because he knows he's completely wrong in his thinking and is afraid to admit it.
