Brachiosaurus Projectile Vomit Impact

Brachiosaurus projectile vomiting: forces generated and resulting traces Assuming 50 kg (110 lbs) of regurgitant. impact velocity from 14 m (45 ft) height, and hard-packed sand as impact site. h = 14 m (45 ft) Impact velocity = V = √2gh = 16.6 m/s; kinetic energy before impact = 6,860 J Average impact force = 68,600 N

An educational-style diagram shows a brachiosaurus projectile-vomiting onto hard-packed sand, with tiny animals nearby and a fossil-like impact trace. The joke comes from treating dinosaur vomit as a serious physics problem and calculating its enormous impact force, making the absurd scenario sound scientific.
