Thank you all for the feedback and explanations. I will attempt a couple of experiments and hopefully post video results back here.

Ah I see @sophiecentaur . Thank you. In addition to the question in my previous post (to @kuruman), is it possible to substitute weight/mass for speed? For example, if the unpadded mass is 6 oz and drops at 10 mph, can we imitate 20 mph by increasing the weight of the mass to say 12 oz (in...

Cool! Thank you kindly for the reply. That's a test that would be fun to try. So if I am understanding correctly, the farther the first (unpadded) mass travels past the center line after impact, that would indicate more impact absorption/protection by the pad - correct? Now that you have my...

Hi, I am a bit out of my league here, but had a question. I have 5 pieces of .25" thick foam/padding of different densities, and I wanted to measure which one absorbs the most energy (weakens the impact) when struck by a fist/punch or even a ball, how would I do that? I ran across a...
