User blog:Mr. Bambu/Modded Minecraft Calc: Anvil Explosive

Premise
This fucking thing is a Tier 1 weapon. It shoots out a "cloud of anvils"- I could count 60 before I gave up. Let's calc it.

Calc
Mass of an Anvil = 90 to 227 kg

The anvils shot a maximum of ten meters into the air. Ergo, we shall use that as our GPE value.

GPE = m * g * h, where

m = Mass = 60 * either 90 or 227 kg

g = Gravity (9.81 m/s^2)

h = Height = 10 m

Low-End Energy = 5.297e5 Joules, Wall level

High-End Energy = 1.336e6 Joules, Wall level

However, the KE would likely be higher. I'm going to personally use the beefier weight for an anvil since these ones are fucking huge.

Watching on Frame-by-Frame, it takes them 11 frames on 25 FPS to cover those ten meters. So speed is 22.73 m/s.

KE = (0.5 * (60 * 227)) * 22.73^2 = 3.518e6 Joules, Wall level. Oh well. This stuff still scales to being > normal TNT, so 8-C regardless.

Tallies
Anvils Reach Heights (Low-End): 0.13 kg of TNT, Wall level

Anvils Reach Heights (High-End): 0.32 kg of TNT, Wall level

Anvils Get Launched: 0.84 kg of TNT, Wall level
