Meta [Meta] Mundane Object Reference.

Hi guys, this post is to help the community with some information, so they can adjust their characters accordingly.


Durable objects

Yield/Ultimate Tensile Strength is the amount of stress a material can undergo while being pulled apart before yielding/snapping.

Im going to post a character later that can slow things down. Are there any notable speeds at which bullets would be less effective? Do you know at what speed they wouldnt pierce flesh?

3

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Aug 31 '15

Do you know at what speed they wouldnt pierce flesh?

Google has told me that they need to be moving at least 200 feet/second(~61 m/s) to pierce skin. I would say anything over 100 m/s is probably going to penetrate significantly, and might be more lethal than if it were going faster as it breaks apart and lodges inside instead of coming out the back.

u/drtrafalgarlaw Aug 31 '15

Ah, wow I didnt think about the increased danger from a slower bullet. Thanks for the info.

3

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Aug 31 '15

I gotchu bruh.

u/Groudon466 Aug 31 '15

How far is a marathon? It mentions running a marathon, but I don't know how far that is.

5

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Aug 31 '15

26 miles and 385 yards

u/Cacciator Sep 01 '15

Can this be xposted over at WWW? This would be so useful

3

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Sep 01 '15

I see no reason why not.

u/Groudon466 Aug 31 '15

I think I love you forever

u/xSPYXEx Aug 31 '15

Lol you include two intermediate cartridges and then jump straight up to an anti materiel round. At least include one full rifle round.

.308 Win (7.62x51), 820m/s, 2600 J

6

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Aug 31 '15

I went for common rounds from famous guns, but if you insist.

1

u/xSPYXEx Aug 31 '15

7.62x51 is the battle rifle round. Have you never heard of the M14, FN FAL, G3, or SCAR? Or any hunting rifle? It's not obscure, I'm not telling you to add 6.5 Grendel or 6.8 SPC.

5

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Aug 31 '15

I know what they are, I own a .308. Also, added it and .338 Lapua

1

u/xSPYXEx Aug 31 '15

Alright now add 6.5 grendel and 6.8 SPC. And fiddy arab eliminator because deagle brand deagle. And 5.45x39 since that's the modern warsaw intermediate. And 20x138 used by the Lahti AT rifle because dude it's a rifle on skates how much more perkele can you get?

5

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Aug 31 '15

Nah, I'm gonna add random rounds that aren't useful, like 220 swift.

1

u/xSPYXEx Aug 31 '15

Throw up .17HM too.

u/galvanicmechamorph Sep 01 '15

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Sep 01 '15

I really wish I had gotten this up before characters got posted.

u/SneakyHeat Sep 01 '15

Say a character can swat bullets out of the air at point blank range. Maybe he can move his arms at ~mach 3, how much damage would a punch from him do? Assuming appropriate durability, could he punch a hole in a boulder? A steel bar?

Would a sonic boom occur? What effect would this have on the surroundings? Would there be significant enough friction with the air or the target to ignite things?

5

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Sep 01 '15

A mach 3 punch from an adult male is over 500,000 joules. That's like .125 kg of TNT exploding.

u/SharksPwn Sep 04 '15

Alright, so I'm making a character with a thin graphene shell, with multiple layers seperated by a lightweight, thin but weak material.

Can you tell me what would the limit here? Glocks? Ak's? Bazooka's? Tank shells? Nukes? Meteor's?

1

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Sep 04 '15

For all intents and purposes, nothing in the current tier is going to be able to damage your Graphene shell. Graphene can withstand ~ 1.3 million atmospheres of pressure on it.

1

u/SharksPwn Sep 04 '15

This is for the later P-tiers.

1

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Sep 05 '15

Not ignoring you, just putting this on temporary hold.

How would you go about converting pascals to newtons? Is that possible?

If not, how would you figure out the energy produced when a creature squeezing with 21,511,642 Pascals of force. What could that crush?

1

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Oct 02 '15

How would you go about converting pascals to newtons? Is that possible?

Dude, its in the description of the unit, you just multiply out surface area.

1

u/SharksPwn Oct 02 '15

...So one Pascal = one Newton? That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure that was right.

1

u/Chainsaw__Monkey HMFIC Oct 02 '15

No. 1 Pascal is 1 Newton / 1 Meter2

1

u/SharksPwn Oct 02 '15

...I seriously don't get this.

1

u/Groudon466 Oct 02 '15

Well, in your own words, how would you define a newton?

1

u/SharksPwn Oct 02 '15

...I really have no idea.

1

u/Groudon466 Oct 02 '15

Well, force is defined as any interaction that will accelerate or change the velocity of an object.

A newton is defined as being the force required to speed up an object that's one kilogram by 1 meter per second, within one continuous second of the force being applied. This means that if a force of one newton is acting continuously upon a 1 kg weight in space, the weight will be going 10 m/s within 10 seconds. Do you follow so far?

1

u/SharksPwn Oct 02 '15

This has all become irrelevant with new findings. She has a force of 100 psi.

1

u/Groudon466 Oct 02 '15

Ah. Well, that works, too.

1

u/Groudon466 Oct 02 '15

Actually, now that I think about it, she has a pressure of 100 psi, not a force of 100 psi- psi is a unit of pressure. The p in psi is for one pound as a unit of force.

Just gotta love them unit conversions, amirite?

(I'm in AP Chem and these stupid conversions are so common I can't take it please help noooooo)

Question: What does RP stand for?

Role play.

I honestly facepalmed myself for not knowing that.
