User:MrWarnerTheGreat/Kick rocks Sora
Introduction
Funny how I just did a calculation for Pit destroying a boulder in the original Kid Icarus game. Now it's Sora turn. Early in Kingdom Hearts 2, Sora destroys a wall of boulders in the Land of Dragons in seven strikes. I'll do this calculation in two ways; One where I get the individual volume of each rock, and another where I assume the wall to be rectangular and get the volume like that.
The Calculation
Method One
Sora is 5'2 according to Nomura in an interview (Seems about right if you ask me), which is 152.4 centimeters.
Sora (152.4cc) = 183px
One pixel = .83278688524cm
Wall Length = 1,066px (887.750819666cm)
Wall Width = 407px (338.944262293cm)
Wall Heith = 1,018px (847.777049174cm)
Wall volume = 255,094,458 centimeters
I'm going to assume violent fragmentation since there are no visible pieces after Sora destroys the rocks.
V.Frag is 69 (J/cc), so the formula is 255,094,458*69/7 which equals 2514502514.57 joules, or 0.6009805245148184 tons of TNT, Building level (8-C)
Method Two
Time for the less fun alternative to this calculation (At least for me). We'll continue to use the same height for Sora and just compare the diameter of each rock to get their volumes.
Pink Rock = 386px (321.455738cm)
Ugly Red Rock = 404px (336.445902cm)
Lime Rock = 296px (246.504918cm)
Sad Blue Rock = 452px (376.419672cm)
White Rock = 394px (328.118033cm)
Yellow Rock = 288px (239.842623cm)
Real Blue Rock = 500px (416.393443cm)
Better Red Rock = 210px (174.885246cm)
Green Rock = 418px (348.104918cm)
The combined volume of all the rocks is 161,512,040.661cm. Once again, we'll be using V.Frag. 161,512,040.661*69/7 = 1592047257.94 joules, or 0.3805084 tons of TNT, Building level (8-C)
Conclusion
Method One = 0.6009805245148184 tons of TNT, 8-C
Method Two = 0.3805084 tons of TNT, 8-C
I recommend using the first method since it's likely to have less errors, whereas the second method uses the formula for a spheres volume, to which not all of the rocks are a perfect sphere.
