, there is only one "right" but an infinitude of "wrongs".


Like your .22 / pool ball / Bowling ball lack of knowledge?

I calculated the vector velocity imparted to the bowling ball by the
.22LR, with numbers. I calculated nothing about the game of pool.

Then, you fucked up completely on your assessment of the action of
striking the ball off center. Admit it fuckhead, you were, and are
still wrong.

If you think my analysis was wrong, show me where it's wrong. With
better numbers.

It is basic physics. No numbers needed, dip***. An off center
strike causes the ball to spin, and much of the energy that would have
been imparted by the impact is deflected. You disputed that, and you
were wrong.

Yes, you have expressed an infinitude of wrongness in that one,
dumb***!

Show me. Don't bluff, don't curse, don't slink away like a coward,

You are the coward for not admitting that a torque arm is created by
an off center impact.

don't whine that it's too complex to compute, because it isn't. This
is bog-simple high-school physics.

You are the one that failed to compute the effect.

Show me your numbers.

I did. I stated that as one strikes a spheroid at a point other
than perpendicular (co-linear) to the surface of the sphere in the
line of travel of the projectile, a torque arm is created that spins
the ball, and reduces the impact energy.

You disputed that, and you were wrong. It is you that must admit
your VERY BASIC error. There is no requisite for math, it is basic
rules. You hit ANYTHING off of its center of mass, and your impact
will apply torsional force to it.

You need to admit that.

Or ask me to explain it to you,

*** you. You were the one that made the wrong assertion.

and I will, in a
manner I'm sure you will understand.

You are sure of nothing.

I'll do *whatever* it takes to
help you understand.

OK. Admit you were wrong in your assertion. Do I really need to
retrieve the quoted remarks to show where you made the incorrect
assertion?

I don't see how I could make you a better offer
than that.

You're a fucking side stepping retard that cannot admit being wrong.
