Try Again:

10 quants per meter
16 ticks per second


An object of 9 meters diameter, weighing 5600kg crahes into another object of the same
size and weight going at 10m/s. The impact applies angular velocity at 5 meters from
its centre.

(moment of inertia) I = kg * m^2

I'm just going to calcualte everything as if it was perfectly spherical rather than
attempt to calculate the volume of each object (unless anyone
here has an algorithm to do that)


Torque = force (mass * velocity) 5600 * 10 X Distance 5 = 280000

I = 5600 * 9^2 = 453600


rot.a = 280000/453600 = 0.61728

radians to degrees = 35.37 degrees per second

Which would be 2.21 degrees per tick


Do I get a cigar?
