Impact force of Rigid objects and no displacement

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the impact force of rigid objects that do not deform or rebound upon collision. Participants explore the relationship between kinetic energy (KE), force, and momentum, emphasizing that KE does not directly convert to force during impacts. The conversation highlights the importance of considering impulse and momentum change to determine the force exerted on a target, particularly in scenarios involving projectiles like bullets. It is noted that the force exerted during a collision is often much greater than expected due to the brief duration of the impact. Ultimately, understanding these principles is crucial for accurately analyzing collisions and energy transfer in physics.

This isn't possible and therefore the rest of your post isn't applicable.

that is not true, its abides by the laws of energy but it hasn't been done, no object has proven tough enough to withstand that force...now the material is possible...
However, my post relates to hammer and nail, that is KE doing work, this is a staple fact of the laws of physics...

This is nonsense. Myself and others have explained to you multiple times why your scenarios can't work. Thread locked.
