Not that im disagreeing, but you really shouldn't use wiki as a source
Why not?
Study: Wikipedia as accurate as Britannica - CNET News

Actually, yes it is. If there is no archeological proof or record of it, it didn't happen.
If someone was charged with murder, but there was no proof, it didn't happen?
No; there's a chance that it didn't happen, but there's a chance that it did.
Machida is a shotokan fighter.
misconception: there is no proof about pankration training methods
truth: there are thousands of paintings, statues, vases and other kinds of images of pankration matches, combine that with the writings of the classical writers at the time E.G Lucian, Heraclitas, some philosphers such as aristotle etc, we know quite a bit about what pankration was like.
the calculation is actually correct. The force comes from the negative acceleration from 100mph (in your example) to 0 mph or whatever speed it is at after hitting its target. The quicker the acceleration (or decelleration) the more force was produced, also the lower the velocity after the collision also means more force was produced. Theres no such thing as "physics force" compared to "common sense force"A lot of people will say that F=ma is the equation to measure how much power is generated for a certain strike.
F in that context, in a sense, only describes in the context of changing velocity. For example, say you have something very heavy flying at constant velocity, meaning, not changing speed. If it weighs 2 tons and is traveling at 100mph, but stays at 100mph, there is no acceleration, and then no force? Force in physics is different than force in common sense.
A more accurate approach would be calculating kinetic energy, which can also cover rotational motion as well, i.e. turning over a fist when punching.
Theoretically.
Also, this post probably doesn't even belong here.
EDIT: The idea is correct though. More speed and more mass will generate more power ("power" outside of the physics context), just the calculation is not right.
