    Calculating G-Shock of Dropping 5kg Box from 20m

    I understand that the energy will dissipate over a period of time, but how would I determine (guesstimate) that time frame/energy absorption rate. I don't know deep it will sink, hence the densities provided.

    Calculating G-Shock of Dropping 5kg Box from 20m

    Let's assume that from a 5 story drop it will not deform, the density of the box is 1600kg/m3 and it is impacting dirt at 1900kg/m3. How do I determine the several orders of magnitude?

    Calculating G-Shock of Dropping 5kg Box from 20m

    If I drop a box of the side of a building (20m) that is 5kg, what is the G shock that this will experience? F=mg is the force, obviously. Based on basics, I'm coming up with 1G, but that doesn't make sense - the shock is going to be bigger based on the height. Say I determine the energy...

    Histogram of number of units selected

    I have some things that have a 7% chance of being blue, 10 of these things are put in a box. What is the percent chance that the box will have exactly one blue thing? Two blue things? and so on.. I have simulated this and came up with the following (all appx) 0 - 37% 1 - 37% 2 - 18% 3 -...
