Default Re: another question about physics

[ QUOTE ]
since posting about physics is cool today, and I have wondered this for a while.

It is a punching fight. One guy has more momentum, the other guy has more energy but has lower momentum in his punches. Whose punch will hurt more?

"Hurt" depends more on force, or dP/dt. The greater momentum will 'hurt' more.
