[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 201215, member: 3776"] Kinetic enregy is indeed mass in motion, no diagreement here. Dr. Fackler (one of "the" if not "the" leading authority in the world on wound ballistics) states that "kinetic energy is meaningless in determining wound trauma incapacitation". Duncan MacPhearson (One of the top Engineers in the world) states that "energy is not conserved in real collisions, but is transfered into thermal energy in a way that cannot be practicaly modeled. "The first law of thermodymamics requires conservation of total energy in any collision, but this information is not useful in analysis of the collision because there is no direct way to determine what fraction of the kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy (usually most of this is heat or thermal energy)".
