My theory showing the connection between "Kinetic Energy and Cabales
Serrada Escrima"
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, like Cabales Serrada. Think
about it. Every dynamic body possesses Kinetic energy. Power, by
definition,is the rate of doing work per unit time. For practical
and applicable purposes of Cabales Serrada, we can interchange power
and kinetic energy as far as the end results of our actions. Both
involve work (Force) against another physical body, with or without
a weapon, in the form of collision or impact.
Mathematically, Kinetic energy is expressed as KE=1/2 mv2. Varying
mass or velocity increases KE in different proportions:
KE=1/2(16) (2) 2 = (8) (4) = 32 (Increasing mass)
KE=1/2(2) (16) 2 = (1) (256) = 256 (Increasing velocity)
As illustrated, when mass is doubled, KE (power) doubles
proportionately. This KE is delivered in the form of heat dissipated
and absorbed by the receiving body.
When velocity doubles, power delivered quadruples. Every time
velocity doubles, kinetic energy increases by one power of ten,
making velocity and power a logarithmic proportion. In short,
doubled mass doubles power. Doubled velocity quardruples power.
Energy absorbed at impact is four (4) times greater with doubled
velocity, even with constant mass. Speed, over mass, is power.
