Presumed by you? You didn't see how he was hit, did you?

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?

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?
