How fast would you have to throw a rock in order to explode a mountain?
As fast as Id have to to escape my depression
Well only 1 m/s given that it's the right density.

Speed of light because E = mc^2
>>8952478
More than 5, less than 13.

This. OP is a fag
>>8952478
Super hihg speed.
>>8952478
Square root of two times of binding energy of a mountain divided by the rock's mass
>>8952478
The rock couldn't hold up to the stresses required
Four

Your "rock" would have to weigh at least 3 tons and you would have to throw it at 0.99C.
I'm not shitting you, I did the math.

Also I did the math for Everest, because "mountain" is too generic, they are all different.
>>8955914
the rock would disintegrate instantaneously, before hitting the mountain
we would have to remove the earth's atmosphere first
>>8956004
well, yes, IRL you would pretty much incinerate the atmosphere (and everything else) if you threw it that fast.

Really fast! Am i the smartest on this board, or am i?
>>8956100
maybe
0 m/s if you just drop a mountain sized rock onto it from like 10 m.
>>8956259
you would just create even bigger mountain with that
