While your statement is perfectly accurate, I just wanted to blithely add that it's not the velocity that hurts you, it's the change in velocity :))

- hathawsh 1y agoVelocity alone can also kill: https://what-if.xkcd.com/1/ https://what-if.xkcd.com/1/ Randall Munroe rules this space IMHO.
- arghwhat 1y agoWhile it's a common joke, not quite - if you're hit by baseball, your velocity does not change significantly as energy is dissipated in other ways, and the change in velocity of the baseball is a consequence of the lost energy, not a cause of damage. Dissipation of energy hurts you. :)
