Will it make a significant difference if we shoot a book that is free to move backwards than if the book is secured with a sand bag? Many people have brought this up this since we often shoot things both ways. It’s natural to assume that a FIXED object would suffer more damage than a “free-floating” object. If you try to punch a balloon in the air, the balloon is just pushed away no matter how hard you punch it. If you secure the balloon to keep it from moving, you are more-likely to pop it. Does this apply to objects -AS MUCH- when they are travelling as a high velocity?
Inertia is the resistance of any object to any change in its motion.
The resistance in this case are the pages of the book.
Momentum is a body’s mass multiplied by its velocity.
The momentum in this case, is the steel ball bearing travelling just above supersonic speed.
