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?

Conservation of momentum?

You even know what that is? There's an equation for that as well, right?

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?
