If you hit a 60lb object while driving your car you'll know.
- VWWHFSfQ 5y agoIf you're driving a ~3,200lb Honda Accord, sure. But the mass difference at the scale of 10,000 tons is a lot different. Especially under water.
- adwww 5y agoI think the weight difference is more like hitting a badger with a fully loaded semi truck.

- Chris2048 5y agoBut the dynamics of large things change, because the bond-strength of metals don't scale up as you build bigger things. Also, this happened underwater, so the harder-to-displace water would give more resistance ("inertia"?) to the whale maybe?
