Will it kill an ant?
 

Is it possible to kill an ant by dropping it from a great height? :confused::confused:

Someone's bored !!!! :eh?:

Dunno, but i wish to god that spider that crawled on the sofa last night was dead before it came in my house. Bloody thing was like a mini tarantula.

Doubt it, their terminal velocity would be too low I expect (besides that, some of them can fly).

depnds what you drop it into...

I think it would in a vacuum ;)

dropped in to a vacuum cleaner? now that's just mean...

they could build a colony in the dust of the vacum bag, unless you got one of them compacting ones.....

I know they don't survive a brake cleaner induced nest inferno..... but they don't come out on fire....

Experiment needed

Maybe you should do an experiment of girly Ians spider too....

No can, its like a pancake now :D

you didn't scream like a girly and hit it with your slipper did you..... spiders are ace.... it is spiders web I can't stand....

No lol, it did make me jump though as i emersed in a game of mario on the Wii. Then i hit it with the mrs's year book that was lying around :D

heehee, so a rather flat, large spider now is impailed on the mrs year book, lovely.... roflol

You'd have problems stopping it exploding first though.

I don't think any of you are taking this seriously :mad:

Does the ant have a parachute?

No, but it has a jet pack, like in Robocop 3

well a six legged ant as in an insect, or a human 'ant' like me?

By falling killed an an cannot be from any height
 

Believe me, an ant cannot be killed by falling, from any height.

The force of impact required to invalidate the life force of such a small and indestructible life form cannot be produced from any combination of the laws formulated by the main man, Mr Newton.

E = 1/2 M x V x V

F = M x A

E = M x C x C (Mr Einstein's)

NO.

There you go. well the ones that I brushed off my wheelie bin didn't die.....not until I walked on them that is.:D

Do we know what the weight of the ant is?

what sort of ant are we discussing?

If you dropped Adam Ant from a great height, he would DIE!

Showing my age.........sorry.

Ahh..see..we all thought it was refering to the creature ant thing..never thought a person called ant.

That changes everything.

If you dropped Ant from Ant & Dec...would Dec follow? :confused::eh?:

We could only hope so.... someone please please try it!

Dec from Ant and Dec fame has been in our building today at work, he wants some fancy home control system :D

G

did you bitch slap him?

What about Shatrat?

wots up, can't he control his own home?:D

I once heard that, due to scale effects, anything the size of a mouse or smaller cannot be killed by dropping it! Apparently a mouse would be stunned for a bit; as things get smaller, they get more indestructible (kind of like the way you can cartwheel a 1/10th buggy and drive away, whereas a 1:1 car would be a crumpled mess).

It was also said that, conversely, a cow or horse would splash if allowed to reach terminal velocity before impact...

The Losi MicroT is about the size of a mouse and that is virtually indestructible from what I've seen.

National heroes are Ant and Dec!!

Me - "In England, I speak like a Geordie..."
Child - "What's that? No entiendo Tia"
Me - "Well... you know Ant and Dec?"
Child - "Ah yes, they talk strangely!"

Says it all really.

If, while on the moon, you dropped Adam Ant, a feather and a lead fishing weight from a height of 12 feet 7 inches, what order would they hit the ground?

Depends what type of cheese its made out of, and whether its day or night (as this would effect the density of said cheese...)

wow stu you have a polo oh you gotta get some pics up of that

A

It's a very special car, it has a 'one-off' front end on it that has been carefully crafted over a period of about 5 years.

Yeah its F***ed

:mad:

Damo, your confusing the extra air intakes (possibly for the intercooler) with rust holes again....... :rolleyes:
