Question about KE

[HeeHomeboyMokey]

This type of example is not directly listed on the page, but implied. Would finding kinetic energy from speed be fine if a character is attacking, but they are not carrying anything and they do not have a weapon? I believe the Quicksilver example listed under the examples of where speed cannot be used to find KE implies that the problem with that is more inconsistency within the verse/character rather than say, being unarmed or something, but I am not sure since I have not seen a calc that has gone under these specific parameters.

I did a calc for Composite Human that uses the exact example that you just mentioned

Would that be an example of real world physics as opposed to fictional physics as listed on the page?

 

[Crimson_Azoth]

Yes it would, as that was a real-world example

 

[HeeHomeboyMokey]

What I had in mind was in a more fictional environment, which as far as I think would work out fine but I'm not sure

I don't see why they'd need to carry a weapon for KE rather than just swinging their fist.

With irl stuff you can do calc stacking and other things you aren't supposed to do because the laws of physics can be assumed to properly apply to the real world. If the KE you get isn't inconsistent you can also use it though.
