V's total power

[Jan Mattys]

Who thinks that it would be totally cool if the ultimate power V is seeking turned out to be this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0033.html)?

It is/was a common theory that the four words will be "Pass me that doily"

V's total power should be easy to figure out. Take the in flight scenes and track distance from a given position over time. Plot that graph and take the derivative of a point on the curve to get velocity. Take the derivative of the velocity (second derivative of the distance WRT time curve) to get acceleration. Next estimate V's mass. Multiply mass times acceleration to get force, and divide the velocity by time to get displacement. Force times displacement gives you energy. Power is energy over time.

Thus we can rather easily calculate V's power.

clearly, it is easily over 9000

We don't need to 'estimate' V's mass. It says what it is in one or another of the books.
