    Arctic Ice Report
Click For Summary
The largest Arctic ice shelf, stable for 3,000 years, has recently broken apart, according to scientists from the U.S. and Canada. This event parallels similar ice shelf collapses observed in Antarctica. The discussion raises questions about the implications of these changes in relation to global warming. Observations of ice shelf instability may serve as evidence for climate change impacts. The situation highlights the urgent need for further research on the effects of global warming on polar ice structures.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The largest ice shelf in the Arctic, a solid feature for 3,000 years, has broken up, scientists in the United States and Canada said on Monday.

Kinda similar to what has been occurring in the antarctic, the shelves of Ice that have broken up there, as well.
Wonder if there is any evidence for Global Warming?
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
