Some participants mention a lack of references or clarity on the practical use of the discussed quantity, indicating potential limitations in understanding its implications.
Massdensity per speedquadrat. What else?simplemind said:TL;DR Summary: i try to understand what physical entity mass or massdensity divided by speedquadrat could be?
Any ideas?
thanks

For a given projectile shape (fixed cross section and coefficient of drag), mass divided by the square of speed would be a good figure of merit for the decelleration of a bullet.simplemind said:i try to understand what physical entity mass or massdensity divided by speedquadrat could be?
and meters per seconds is meters per seconds. what else :-)kuruman said:Massdensity per speedquadrat. What else?
