saltyfries (12/28/2015) [-] 
that has to be a very light ball given how high he was able to throw it and given that it's not crashing back down, still, very impressive that he managed to get it up there in the first place!

fyaq (12/29/2015) [-] Simply put, when you toss something up its slowed down by gravity until it reaches its high point.
His balls high point just happened to be right above the ceiling tile so it either came down very little or not at all, so it just rolled down the tiles and didnt have the force necessary to break through.
And because you're a faggot

manofbacontits (12/29/2015) [-] no, i worked at an ally for two years and we had 4 lb kids balls. granted, they got stuck in the machine all the time so we all wished they didn't exist

triggerhappywolf (12/28/2015) [-] Doesn't have to be light to go as far as he threw it. This pic is an 8 pound kids ball. I can toss a 12 pound ball a good distance myself. As for the clip. This seems fake. Where did the ball go because those tiles look weak

His point isn't that it's hard to throw it that high, but hard to throw it into the ceiling and not have the ceiling collapse and let it fall through.

First: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mCC-68LyZM
Second: An object thrown at an angle always travels in a parabola, the hole in the sealing just happened to be near the top of that parabola, thus the force exerted on the cealing from the launched ball was minimal.

joshkroger (12/28/2015) [-] That may be true, but it still had a good amount of horizontal(forward) velocity that could easily break a ceiling tile. I'd imagine the ball hit a crossbar or something in the ceiling to take most of the impact and when it slowed down, it could roll around on the tiles.

lathyrusvii (12/28/2015) [-] I don't think you understand physics. Forward velocity wouldn't exert additional downwards force, same as how a car in motion weighs the same as a car that's standing still.
If it bounced into a crossbar in the ceiling, I could buy that, but only in the case that the ball bounces up, converting some of that forward momentum into momentum normal to gravity. >> Something, something, studied physics.

I don't think you understand ceiling tiles.
They're held up by a metal lattice that would've been hit by the ball if it had forward velocity, and even if it didn't it's likely that it would shift the tiles if it had forward velocity, and either of these would be extremely likely to knock tiles down and cause the ball to fall through.
Furthermore the force isn't just caused by built up kinetic energy from downward velocity, but just from the weight of the ball due to gravity even while sitting there. Most ceiling tiles can't hold up a heavier bowling ball (12, 16, 20 lbs etc) even if it was just lightly set on them.

lathyrusvii (12/28/2015) [-] I hadn't thought of the ceiling tile shifting far enough to drop a tile.
Though I did account for the weight of the ball itself, in how I described the weight/force of a car when I compared it to the bowling ball.
But, I have weak data to support the claim that a bowling ball, perfectly placed at the top of the parabola onto the ceiling tile could feasibly be supported And since we live in a world where a bird **** in the mouth of a soccer player who was talking **** , I have to find this plausible.

lathyrusvii (12/29/2015) [-] Focused pressure =/= weight of a bowling ball.
Aside, I have no textbook information on the strength of the material; it seems like you don't either, though. So... what I has is that an average ceiling tile can withstand 20-30 lb.
Bring some data, if you really want to be correct about all this. Otherwise, it's just speculation, and I don't have time for theoretical fights on the internet about... this.

lijok (12/29/2015) [-] Been working in the construction industry for many years. Literally going to be installing an armstrong ceiling tomorrow in some toilet blocks at some museum.
Those tiles break if you drop a phone on them. That's my data
Don't know what about "You can push a toothpick through them with easy" you didn't understand

Okay, here's a practical example for you. Go grab a hammer, a tooth pick, and a piece of cardboard. first, push the toothpick through the cardboard. It should go through rather easily. Next, hit the cardboard with the hammer. Let me know what happens.
My point is, you're mixing up material properties. It doesn't matter if you can shove a toothpick through it, a single impact isn't necessarily enough to cause fracture if the material is ductile and resilient enough.

lathyrusvii (12/29/2015) [-] I didn't understand why you confused weight with pressure. I can push a toothpick through a piece of rope, too, but I can still stand on it afterward.
Your data isn't verifiable by me. Wear a Go-Pro, show me, then I might believe.

Your manner of expressing yourself, coupled with the fact that you copy/pasted your edgy "I'm too important for this" moto, indicates to me that you're either 16 and full of yourself, or you have aspergers
Either way, 'I don't have time for theoretical fights on the internet'

lathyrusvii (12/29/2015) [-] You condescending 'JFGI' response gave no definitive answers.
Literally anything is more important than this, pal, but if you want to stick around I can mock you or something. That'd be interesting. Strictly to me, but unless you offer actionable data... you literally have nothing.

Not necessarily. If the vertical velocity of the ball reached zero shortly after clearing the ceiling, then the downward momentum wouldn't have been that great when it impacts because it wouldn't have enough time to accelerate. You can actually see the ceiling tile bend from the impact, but it was resilient enough to distribute the impact energy and not be permanently deformed.

threeeighteen (12/28/2015) [-] It looks like that ****** chipboard stuff that you can easily lift off There must be a better word or phrase for it than that. , so I doubt it would handle a falling bowling ball.
