Thanks a lot for your feedback. I wonder if 7 ms is close enough from reality, I will have a look inside 'impulse' problems and such. I may get some info --about the bird elasticity-- from the 'chicken gun' I guess. I will then find the specs of the windshield, see how much it can stand at that...

Correct. But note that even without contact, they also have gravitational forces acting on each other, described by Newton as F = G (universal gravity constant) x M x m / r² (distance separating the two objects).

Thank you very much Sir, I will have a look at that ! This is going to be hard determining the elasticity of the chicken (lol..) but this seems to be a very nice clue. Edit: So I guess that from the formula you gave, we could say that as my speed increases over and over, elasticity has less...

I do not understand your question, and that part. I'd see gravity as an acceleration, not a force. Adding books, masses are changing, then the forces are changing, but gravity stays the same.

Hi all, I fell on those pics on the web (see attached files). Now, there are people who tend to think this is a fake, and the others (I would be among them :) ). How to prove it ? I do not know the properties of the porsche windshield (it is a laminated windscreen of course), how much it...
