Has mattheman got a duplicate account or something?

Nah, this guy has been trolling since he signed up. Can't remember which thread - probably the GF one - but he spent the whole time proclaiming how awesome he is, only to look a complete ****.
 
Rockets...Wood Attached to Rocket as we all know.

blasts up 400+ Meters.. explosion.. the wood stick is still in the air very high up and falls and get pushed by the explosion alone...

It comes down just like a arrow and misses me by inches, all i heard was a quick zip as it was going so fast and it was nearly half way into the ground.

If it would have hit me i wouldnt be here today.

You can make all these sums up of mass and velocity but you dont have any field experience like i did that night

........ haha.... hahaha.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahhahahahaHHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahah

..... I'm ok now, so yeah the expl... hahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahha

Can't breathe... HAHahahhahahahahahahahahaha
 
A couple of years ago the stick off one of our rockets landed on the neighbours conservatory, it wasn't falling very fast and bounced harmlessly off.

Good to know that some people can accurately judge the speed of small objects moving at 100mph+ in the dark though :)
 
YAY! Liverpool sounds like down-town Bagdad.

I've just got back from work and was thinking the same thing! Now to decide whether to go out in the rain and stare at fireworks or go to the pub and watch Everton.. I'm thinking the football is winning.. :)

Fireworks or Everton? Hah, fireworks win that hands down. :p

Even if the explosion did push the stick away at high velocity the air resistance would slow the stick down very fast.
 
Haha.. Red by any chance? :p

Gooner. I've got nothing against Everton, but objectively speaking - this season they really have been playing the most boring football.

That said, I do wish you a little more luck against Benfica this time. :p

Tell me about it! :( I'm just hoping we make up for our pounding the other week!

I didn't make the sums up, some very intelligent physicists made them up. They then went on to prove them time and time again. This is how science works. Every time some uses a parachute they rely on those sums not to end up splattered across the floor.

No, because to do that it would need a terminal velocity equal to an arrow in flight (lets assume 200 ft/s easily accomplished with a compound bow) which would be 66m/s or 147mph. Even then it wouldn't do as much damage as an arrow as it has neither the mass nor the penatrative tip on the end.

also, remember that arrows travel at far higher than their terminal velocity.

we know this because direct-arrow attacks cause greater penetration than "lobbed" attacks which rely on Terminal Velocity :)
 
Near death story, a blunt stick landed near me, it made noise therefore it must have been going 100mph or more, it went right into the ground.

The explanations you've been given are incredibly basic physics, something well, a child should know.

I also find it funny you seem to think all fireworks are basically rockets that go up into the air explode and in doing so create a hail of deadly arrows. Now think about how many years fireworks have been used for including all those years before you were alive, now many go off every single year over the few days around this time. How many thousands gather at fireworks displays, now when was the last time you heard about an unlucky sole being impaled by a decending spent firework? Yup, me neither.

One of these hit me and the other landed right in front of me.

I'm still alive.
 
grrr stupid fireworks have been going off all night, was inhaling smoke at points during my run tonight as well, nasty ****.
