[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 4899143, member: 594758"] You have it backwards. A lighter box will move LESS than a heavier box, from the same speed/stop. A heavier box will tend to keep moving becuase it has more mass, and therefore intertia, and will take more energy to stop it. If you had two boxes in your car; a light one and a heavy one; when the car breaks suddenly the heavier box will want to keep moving thru space further because it has more mass/inertia to keep it going. If your box had been lighter, it would have moved LESS, not more. Have a freind drop a tennis ball from a balcony and catch it. Then drop a bowling ball from the same heigth and catch it. Which one is harder to stop? Which one moves more with same effort to catch? The heavier the box, the more need there is to bolt it down, and bigger bolts are needed as it's weight increases. ... and allstate sucks balls and they will screw you in the end. [/QUOTE]
