Verinage is designed to maximise the efficiency of a demolition of a pre-existing structure.
Engineered processes are nearly always more efficient than natural occurring random ones. Lateral ejection represents an inefficiency for a process designed to do work by having as large as possible a falling mass impact the lower structure as axially as possible.
So it is rather obvious that Verinages would be engineered to limit this inefficiency.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I knew this one would get you, you are SO predictable.
Didn't you say you studied electrical engineering HAHAHA, so enlighten us oh all knowing sage:
What role does the electromagnetic force have in macroscopic behavior of objects in our everyday experience (non-electric objects obviously).
You are such a hoot PLB, vcould you at least try to not be so easy to play around with?
But wait PLB, I thought you said there was no force to eject the mass, changing your song so quickly? I was just starting to get into it.
So maybe YOU can explain to us which force is causing these ejections you now claim to be happening to occur.
You are being disingenuous again because you can not explain this simple question: how is the majority of the mass pushed outside.
In physics, a force is any influence that causes a free body to undergo a change in speed, a change in direction, or a change in shape
An example is the normal force, which can be thought of as a passive force, one that changes in response to other forces. Frictional and tension forces are other examples of passive forces. The passive nature of friction is obvious when you think of an object like a block being pulled along a rough surface. There is an applied force in one direction and a kinetic frictional force in the other direction that opposes the motion. If the applied force is discontinued, the block will slow down to rest but it will not start moving in the opposite direction due to friction. This is because the kinetic frictional force is passive and stops acting as soon as the block comes to rest. Likewise, tension forces, such as those exerted by a rope pulling on an object, can exist only when there is an active force pulling on the other end of the rope.

Of course I can.
I love your idea of a "passive" force though, that is a new one.
I still am not getting any clarity about whether you think things get pushed aside or not. Are you not saying that you think things DON'T get pushed aside?
Why does it matter which force is pushing them aside, the fact of the matter that you can see in any crush or interaction between physical objects for that matter is that unless the collision is perfectly aligned it will generate lateral ejections of some sort.
Notice that even though there is a rocket on that sled it doesn't just keep going straight?
But please, don't let me interrupt you, do carry on about the "passive" forces in the universe. I am enthralled.
Before you do though, let's just recap the definition of a force:

Okay, now you can carry on.
Just one thing more...

Okay, right, so you were talking about electromagnetism being a passive force...

With passive I mean that the force does absolutely nothing (on a macro scale) unless an external force is acting upon the mass. If there is any formal definition for a passive force that is different, then I did not know about that.

This is classic stuff.
You are asking me to explain something that happens all the time and refusing to believe that it happens all the time without of an explanation.
How can I explain it to you if you do not understand the basic definition of a force?
A net force is something which causes an acceleration to occur. A passive force is a psuedo-force that only occurs as a result of the interactions between other forces. Friction is a passive force that only appears when there is a relative movement between objects. When there is no relative movement between objects there is no friction.
The passive force you are thinking of is the normal force.
It is the normal force that is generated by the interaction of the gravitational force and the electromagnetic force when to objects interact, and it is the normal force that goes away when two things are no longer in contact.
Electromagnetism does not stop acting when I pick my cup off the table. It is a real fundamental force. It is the electromagnetic force that ultimately accelerates objects away from each other in an elastic collision, and so it is this force which is ultimately causing the ejections.
So do you think matter and/or energy gets ejected in collisions or not? Are all collisions perfectly inelastic in your universe?edit on 1-8-2011 by Darkwing01 because: (no reason given)edit on 1-8-2011 by Darkwing01 because: (no reason given)
most of it more or less stays in its current path.

More or less?
The point is LESS, not MORE.
I love how you turn around and say exactly what I have been saying and then pretend that you were saying that from the beginning, deriding your original position as if it were mine...
I gave undeniable proof for that
So all this time you were trying to make an irrelevant argument. But I take you made up a new fantasy. Lets hear it.

It is not an irrelevant argument.
I am trying to explain to you why real world collapses progress in the way they do, while you are arguing that a figment of your imagination with no empirical support should outweigh real reproducible experimental data.
logical deduction from the collapse time.
Oh yeah, it was based on absolutely nothing, it was something you made up and are unable to explain.
And some more denial, lies, projection and irrelevant mumbling. What is missing is any explanation. So what did you think? That when you keep telling that you have explained anything that after a while others will start believing it too? Sorry, does not work.
