You're saying that the principles of physics as we know them today, in modern mathematics, is thwarted by a sideswipe?
You would have to know what the initial momentum of the object is that's in motion, correct?
Yeah, you'd have to know what the initial momentum is, not speed, momentum. There's a difference.
Right? Do you agree with that?
You wouldn't have to calculate what the initial momentum is of the object in motion to determine the distance the body at rest would move?
Right, okay. Well, let's put the speed of the vehicle aside. Let's talk about initial momentum. What's the formula for calculating initial momentum?
Well, there's actually one type of momentum formula. Isn't it true, Trooper Paul, that there is a singular calculation for determining initial momentum? That is P equals M times V, where P is the momentum you're solving for that. M is mass. We multiply that by velocity. Is that right? Pretty simple.
Oh, because the pedestrian's somehow magically out of the realm of physics?
So if the vehicle is too heavy and the body is too light, you can't calculate the initial momentum of the vehicle?
Got it. Where'd you learn that?
Got it, got it, got it. Would you need to apply the theory of conservation of momentum in calculating these data?
Conservation of momentum?
You even know what that is? There's an equation for that as well, right?
You know what that is?
Based on the basic principles of physics, is the total momentum before the collision, is it greater or less than the total momentum after the collision? Basic question.
They're exactly equal in all respects under the principles of physics, right? That's the theory of the conservation of momentum. Momentum doesn't change. It's transferred from one body to another. Yes. Correct?
Why didn't you say that to the jurors? Trooper Paul, if you were qualified to, quote, look into all this stuff, you would probably know these answers. Are there any other calculations that you'd need to figure out the stuff that you were talking to about with the grand jury? How about calculating the final velocity of the objects after the collision? Would that be important?
That would be John O'Keefe's body, sir. The object you claim was flying through the air. How about calculating the displacement using kinematic equations? Would you be able to do that?
In order to calculate how far the body would move based on the mass of the object striking the body. Could you use displacement using kinematic equations?
Are you saying that the principles of physics are incapable of determining with the proper calculations how far John O'Keefe's body would have moved given the collision at issue?
