How many sources ya got in that example, Cecil? Is that the same to
you? If it is, then I can see why you don't understand.

Couldn't possibly be that you don't understant, huh?

Someone has shot a bullet into an iron wash pot. It ran around
the rim of the pot and changed directions by 180 degrees. Just
as it was changing directions, another bullet was fired from
the same gun. The returning bullet has less energy than the
second bullet. Therefore, the net energy is away from the gun.
Want to stick your head in front of the ricochet bullet
to prove that component energy doesn't matter?
