Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Thank you. It is a lot more complicated than just saying it summates. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Thank you. Does the "in-between conditon...where a little bit of damage gets done but not enough to break it" occur with the 1N adding up in a summation though? If repeated 1 N events caused the spring to bounce back and forth, would that cause deformation in the spring elasticity? Or, were you...

Hi All, I'm a first year physics student. This seems like a ridiculous Newtonian question, but I'm trying to mathematically prove this. If an object takes 5N to break, why is it that multiple six 1N events do not summate to cause that object to break? I'm thinking it's just conservation of...
