I do know that Momentum=Mass (KG/lbs) x Velocity (M/s or ft./s). I also know that momentum of an object is lost when in collision with another object. I suspect that if the momentum of a bullet is equal to that lost penetrating the hide and rib of a moose that it will wind up with Zero Momentum and Zero ft. lbs. energy so will not penetrate any further? I believe that if the bullet had more ft. lbs. energy it would likely have retained more momentum and passed through the moose. Likely you will correct me if I am wrong!
