Shapeshifter vs. Goblin

[Angrist]

But it doesn't mean that the heavier your brick is, the further it flies, right? You will reach a point where adding more weight will just shorten the flight distance.

If you took the feathers weight and put it into the form of a very small ball (or a brick), it would fly pretty far. The shape of the feather is the biggest problem, not the weight.

I guess it's a balance between weight to keep momentum, and aerodynamics to minimize air resistance.

If the object weighs more, you just need a more powerful cannon. I believe it's conservation of momentum.

A feather and cannonball would fall at the same speed/time in a vacuum (no atmosphere). So on Earth a cannonball would obviously be better than a feather because of drag and air resistance, but I thought mass cancels out for one of those equations. I don't remember much from physics, but I think both of you guys should be hugging not fighting.

Now let's get back to arguing about how this thread is total bullshit because the Goblin isn't winning.
