Kinetic Energy: Mass vs Speed
This is a neat graphic that I’m sure has lots of applications to piano, but the first one I thought of was the energy it takes to play fortissimo is not dependent on the size of the pianist. =)
When an object’s mass doubles, its kinetic energy also doubles, but when an object’s SPEED doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.
