Say I want to determine if a rope/ attachment equipment is strong enough for a person falling at some height. I am unable to have a mass fall at that height so I decide to up the mass and reduce the height.
Should I use kinetic energy or conservation of momentum?
Because the impulsive force should be F= change in momentum/change in time
But I also should be able to model the system with energy conservation however the force would be different because of different mass right? As F=MA
I am not actually going to test anything, I am just curious.
