Re: Goodbye, Mr Roberts
Any laws have their constraints. Otherwise, why do we need Einstein to figure out the Law of Relativity?
E = m(v)square.
From the formula alone, we know that the higher the speed, the less important of the mass's contribution to the total kinetic energy.
However, we are talking about the upper building blocks were simply falling 3 meters at initiation of collapse. The speed would be around 5.4 meter/second when upper floors impacted lower floors in our scenario.
Simple high school physics, namely The Third Newton Law would solve the problem here.
