It might be cheaper to simply locally reproduce the effects of being shot into the sun?

Fire Peter Dutton into a ten pin bowling setup of gas heaters on max settings.

Make Dutton live out his days being raped on Nauru.

I mean what are you talking about, there is no rape on Nauru, it is a good Christian country.

What if his craft eventually runs into some aliens and they think Dutton is a typical human? Best to shoot him into the sun to avoid an XCOM situation, I feel

Is there any sort of physical principle upholding this? I would imagine it would be the opposite and that the gravitational pull of the sun, no matter how weak from 1AU, would still make things a little easier than shooting in literally any other direction? e: and furthermore, will Dutton be required to wear a helmet whilst being shot into the sun? I feel that the example set by him risking brain injury whilst being fired into a plasma furnace sets a bad example for society and furthermore: morals.

It's a matter of orbital energy levels, I believe. At 1AU we're travelling at 30km/second and you need to bleed away most of that energy to travel into the inner solar system or you'll just be tossed back out. Of course, a ballistic trajectory to the centre of the sun is probably simply because you're not Why isn't that little girl a smilie yet?

BlitzkriegOfColour posted:Man I am probably going to fail at physics so hard next year. Lol. Nah, you'll be right. Pay attention and do the exercises. That thing about requiring less energy to leave the solar system than hit the sun is unintuitive, but readily apparent once you know the numbers and the maths.

Think of a man spinning around holding a bucket on a string. With the bucket being the Earth and the man being the sun. It takes a lot of energy to climb up the string to reach the man, but very little to be thrown out and away from the bucket.

Wait but shouldn't gravity be pulling things towards the sun, doing the opposite of the centrifugal force with the bucket?? I'm not even taking physics but now I need to know how this works

Hands perpendicular to the ground, ie both hands on even footing, shows equality. One hand pushing another to the ground / covering it shows dominance. It's a forgotten thing these days but was definitely a thing in my dads age.

HookShot posted:What's the force that's pulling things out of the solar system then? That's just a product of the earths inertia. Reduce it to Newtonian laws and it becomes simpler. Assume for ease of use a circular stable orbit. At any given point, the earth travels perpendicular to the Suns gravitational pull. If you were to stop gravity, inertia would carry the earth in a straight line perpendicular to the last point it was affected by gravity (think cutting the rope and the bucket flies off) The effect of gravity is that it constantly changes the earths heading to keep it perpendicular to the gravitational force. Centrifugal force isn't actually a thing, it's just a label given to the effects of inertia to make it possible to model something with a different frame of reference.
