[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 202305, member: 3776"] Any ballistics formular that uses FPE as a basis to rate Wound Trauma Incapacitation is doomed to failer. Why you ask? Read the following for the answer "The first law of Thermodynamics 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)" "Foot pounds is the Unit typicaly used in ballistics and many other dynamics problems. The British Thermal Unit (BTU) is often used for "heat energy"; one BTU equals approximately 778.1 foot pounds. Joule is the unit of energy in metric (or standard international) units' one joule is equal to one newton meter or one watt secound, and equals approximately 0.73756 foot pounds." The above quotes are by Duncan MacPhearson and are technicaly and scientificaly correct.... Kinetic energy absorption (the process of the transformation of kinetic energy into thermal energy does not equate to tissue damage in many physical processess... Newton's laws of motion describe forces and monemtum transfers not energy relationships.. The dynamic variable that is conserved in collisions is momentum; kinetic energy is not only not conserved in real colisions but is transformed into thermal energy.... If anyone can disprove these basic laws of science, then a Pultzer Prize in Science is a cinch [/QUOTE]
