Idk weather to laugh or not.. shows body flying in air.. maybe bf2 ragdolls are realistic

TBH that could be anything. I'm skeptical that its actually a person at all, because the objects descent is much too slow (for something wheighing as much as a person) taking into account how fast the wind is moving the smoke away from the impact. Secondly, from what I have seen most mortar rounds throw oodles of shrapnel around and shred things, like people and cars etc etc. And don't send them flying vertically up in the air, but rather horizontally across some distance.

If you were hit by a mortar there wouldn't be enough left of you to be filmed flying in the air.

All objects, regardless of weight, fall at the same velocity.

In a vacuum.

air resistance plays a part too if IIRC

Tbh that could just be a bit of rumble.

In a vacuum.

And from the Tower of Piza....

A human-shaped object that weighs 20 pounds will fall at the same rate as a human-shaped object that weighs 100 pounds.

Are you talking about terminal velocity, or the fact that in a vacuum air resistance is not a factor?

The classical example of a feather and a hammer, obviously the hammer will reach the ground first. I think you've misunderstood what's said in the pre-school science book.

If you were hit by a mortar their would be no 'you'

i hope that was a guy or an animal because that was funny.
also i have messed with mortar round you can charge the explosive to something that can burns building like napalm or make it put off a big concussion blast wave. so there is a chance that could be a guy or an animal or just part of a car or building.
also never try making nitroglycerin i almost blow my self up making that shit stirred it to fast to much heat and force being put to it.

Definitely not a person, its just a little debris, people don't fly because of explosions, you just evaporate.

true but what if it was a guy would you be laughing. because i sure as hell would be

Where's that video of Dr. Cox saying "wrong wrong wrong wrong" over an over again?

Because that ain't true buddy. When objects of the same shape drop, the heavier of the two overcomes air resistance more readily.

does it matter that much sure heavier the object the more it overcome the air. but it not a big deal.
plus for the hell of it we should use a catapult to fire a mini coopers at a city it would be much more fun.
it's raining mini's holy shit!
plus you would have to laugh seeing marines use a catapult to attack a city.

density is what will effect fall speed. it is like the saying what would fall faster 1 ton of feathers or 1 ton of bricks the bricks would fall faster cus they are more dense.

ExOps_Mercenary · Post by **ExOps_Mercenary** » 2007-09-13 23:40

but someone answer this what would you rather see marine use
1: a catapult.
2: a mortar.
3: use monkeys trained to fire guns.
4: those toy remote control tanks but they fire hand gun bullets.
5: do drive bye's on bicycles.
6: or send in tons of attack dogs.

i said this because i'm bored

um... ALL objects fall at the same rate. If there was absolutely no air resistance, a feather would fall to earth accelerating at 9.8 meters per second squared (so, speed increases by 9.8m/s each second).
and so would a hammer, a school bus, a blue whale, or by any means, YOU.

the situation in which air resistance plays a role in anything is when an object reaches it's terminal velocity, a.k.a. your max speed.

for a human body of ANY weight, as long as it is roughly the same size as a human body, terminal velocity is about 55 meters per second.

EVERY object will accelerate at 9.8 meters per second squared, until it reaches speeds at which air resistance will start to slow the acceleration. when it reaches terminal velocity, for a human shaped object it is 20 (twenty) seconds, air resistance will equal the force of gravity, and the object will descend at its constant speed, the terminal velocity of that object.

now in the video, i KNOW as a fact the body was not even in the air for 20 seconds, much less descending for that long. judging by the size of the body and the scale of things around it, as well as the flailing arms of the deceased individual you can be pretty sure it is in fact, a body.

the only variable that mass will have any influence in this video is the maximum height the object reaches above the ground before it descends. this is because the force of the blast the mortar created was counteracted in some way by the inertia of the body. the upward momentum of the body in no way affects deceleration, as gravity (9.8 m/s) will only counteract velocity. momentum DOES NOT increase or decrease in a linear fashion.

as for the "shredding mortar" idea, hey things happen. maybe he was hit by something at high speed and it launched him into the air? I do not know much about the properties of mortars themselves, but I do know as a fact that strange things do happen in life, and that a flying body from an exploding mortar that happened to be caught on tape is just one more thing that you were bound to see in your lifetime.

one more thing...

i'm sure that even though dice invented the meter that isn't quite a meter, and that even though their gravitational constant is higher than that of earth, they made everything so it would look roughly like things do on earth. even if they are not exact.

being that this is "reality mod," if someone wants to step forward and play with things so they are even more realistic, go for it.
