A How Can Skeletal Models and Physics Help Us Understand Pain Perception?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the use of skeletal models and physics to simulate pain perception, with a focus on understanding the relationship between movement vectors, delta time, mass, and collision impact. The original poster expresses a desire to create a system that can quantify pain without malicious intent. However, the topic raises ethical concerns, drawing parallels to the Milgram experiments, which explored obedience and the infliction of pain. Participants in the discussion find the subject disturbing and suggest closing the thread due to its sensitive nature. The conversation highlights the complexities of studying pain perception through a scientific lens.

TL;DR
Given a movement vector, delta time, mass and size in a collision how much pain would it cause to a person (This is just simulation)?
I am not cooking up a torture device or a weapon. In fact, I have been spending time with skeletal models. I just want to be able to create the ability to perceive pain. Even if I were to try to work this out myself and get some kind of answer that relates to physics, how would I know for sure what it means?

. I just want to be able to create the ability to perceive pain.
What?
 
This is a disturbing topic. Its reminescent of the Milgram experiments in pain perception and people inflicting the pain on others as part of obedience to some authority.

We think its best to close this thread now.

Thread 'Why higher speeds need more power if backward force is the same?'

Thread 'Why higher speeds need more power if backward force is the same?'

Power = Force v Speed Power of my horse = 104kgx9.81m/s^2 x 0.732m/s = 1HP =746W Force/tension in rope stay the same if horse run at 0.73m/s or at 15m/s, so why then horse need to be more powerfull to pull at higher speed even if backward force at him(rope tension) stay the same? I understand that if I increase weight, it is hrader for horse to pull at higher speed because now is backward force increased, but don't understand why is harder to pull at higher speed if weight(backward force)...
