Much criticism was directed at your Q because some wanted you to explain your reasons for wanting the math. (Possibly so they could pick apart your reasons and debase your idea.) I don't think yours was a case needing further explanation. Actually, it was quite clear why you needed to find the total kinetic energy; it's what the entire magic system is based on! | |

Some time ago I asked some questions involving a low-gravity Earth analogue, basically Earthlike Mars. One example was "changes to ship design on low-gravity seas". I learned to put a disclaimer in my Q's saying something to the effect of "I know this planet is unlikely to form or persist naturally, please overlook that," though the comments honed in on the unlikelihood of my world existing naturally. An entire lengthy answer was posted to that Q, posing as a frame challenge (despite not addressing the content of the Q at all). | |
