Of course, the problem with the question is that the OP chose cats, as if it's humerous to think of throwing a cat out of a high window. The problem at its core is the relationship between height, accelleration, and materials. What is the necessary height for a given material to reach a sufficient velocity to cause it to fail upon impacting the ground?
- edw519 16y agoI realize that using eggs instead of cats probably would have been more applicable to this problem. But OP inadvertently demonstrated another problem: proofs built upon flawed postulates are not only flawed themselves, but a colossal waste of time. I wonder how many scientists and engineers in the real world are spending so much time calculating the trees that they've lost sight of the forest. Probably more than most people think.
