Title: Totally useless RR SC Factoids
Post by: Evilgoat on May 26, 2006, 15:33:04: If dropped from 10,000 meters a RR SC (Like Bagheera) would :

Hit a terminal volocity of about 442 Meters a second (No Aerodynamics in this, hell its a Rover, why bother, they dont have any :) )

Force of the Impact would be 149.4 Million Newtons

And energy expended on impact (Assuming it bounced a few meters) a scary 298.8 Megajoules

OR

The same energy as 373500 peanuts being burned.

Thus ends this transmission...

I have a feeling the calculations are out fairly badly as they dont take in drag and the fact that the RR will start to spin because of weight and shape whereas the streamlined shape of an MR means it'd hit the ground faster.
