>A bullet dropped on the ground will hardly produce any dent at all.
yes, because F is so low.
if the accelration has increased (we can change this <weapon>)
F will increase cause the way the ecquation works it self out.
F = ma

so the greater F is, the stronger/deeper it will be (the dent in earth).

for ex. andre in his book gives a parrelation of a pea being stronger than a
truck. you just alter the values of the equations and in some cases you will
get F in the pea case to be larger than the truck case.

i'm sure ron will bring up more cases in this but, this is the general jist
of it.

still waiting on my GR book's...
got next day for the einsteins, and hawkings for 2 day delievery ;)


peace,
akbar A.

Sorry to rush in, but I think that's exactly what he's saying...
A bullet dropped on the ground will hardly produce any dent at all.
As for one shot from a gun's barrel...well, I leave it to your imagination
;-)

Are,

[SNIP]

Or are you saying the cause of the dent is momentum, not force?

Just rambling,
