please stop with this html mail !!
it is worse than bright green ;)

>Which "F" will that be?


yes, i admit i did state that wrong, i should have said something like;

if you jack up the velocity, like in the case of the bullet the momentum
will be much more powerful.
so when it hits the ground there is a lot of force against the surface of
the earth.
since there is a lot of force, we get a larger dent.

LOL!...

Which "F" will that be?  For what I make out of your argument,
the "acceleration" you are talking about must be the one upon
impact, but what comes before that is, momentum.

Are,
F

>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
;-)

[SNIP]

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

Just rambling,
Steve
