    Undergrad Why is force the rate of change of momentum, not kinetic energy?

    Thanks to all for replying on my post,i was seriously looking for that 1 common thing to how can i relate force,momentum,kinetic energy,displacement,velocity and time with drilling deep into the idea of classical mechanics to understand the very basic idea. As for now i have solved my mystery,i...

    Undergrad Why is force the rate of change of momentum, not kinetic energy?

    I can understand it might not exactly be the force that is converted into any other form like momentum,but surely there is something which is accepted by the body ("may it not be force") which brings about change in momentum,probably it is not energy either,but when one applies a force to the...

    Undergrad Why is force the rate of change of momentum, not kinetic energy?

    i am still not clear,why is entire force not converted into energy,why is it getting converted into momentum.I am onto consideration that its the energy that will get converted into force when one apply force to a moving object.so when the force is applied to the object it should be converted...

    Undergrad Why is force the rate of change of momentum, not kinetic energy?

    why is force equal to rate of change in momentum rather than rate of change in kinetic energy. If we consider time is 1 sec,and if we consider an object is moving with particular velocity V1 and a force F is applied to change the velocity to V2, then according to Newton the force applied is...

    Why does spinning make you dizzy but linear motion doesn't?

    Thanks for that answer,i didnt realize the source is biology rater than physics,thank you for clearing that doubt.

    Why does spinning make you dizzy but linear motion doesn't?

    probably a stupid question! on force. when we spin round and round we feel dizzy,when we move in front we dont,now considering in both cases a force is acted on body,one force has an effect on your brain where as other does,so what is so special in this circular force that makes brain...

    Undergrad Why does relativistic velocity addition depend on light speed?

    i constantly feel that Newton was right in measuring the relative velocity.einstein makes use of light which has a limitation of 300000 km/s .It seems as if because light cannot travel more than 300000 km/s we we see the other object moving at lesser speed. to confirm that in relative velocity...

    Graduate What happens if the Lorentz factor is omitted from the time equation?

    i didnt get a good enough solution to that,i mean 1/root(1-v^2/c^2) and its significance,if anyone knows it please share to me?

    Graduate What happens if the Lorentz factor is omitted from the time equation?

    please let me know what is a significance of lorentz factor,and what will happen if lorentz factor is not multiplied in the time equation of lorentz transformation.

    Undergrad If photons are massless, why don't they penetrate walls?

    well i have observed a basketball go through the net but it can't go through the hole used in golf,whereas a marble can easily go through the golf hole.obviously the dimensions matters now why dosent this apply to light if mass is zero it musthave dimensions equal to hence even the smallest...

    Undergrad If photons are massless, why don't they penetrate walls?

    thats because if you have no mass then nothing can block you. also if a particle is showing characteristics it can't be zero,i don't think there is any thing in world which has characteristics and still carry no mass.

    Undergrad If photons are massless, why don't they penetrate walls?

    please tell me if a photon of light is considered massless,then it should penetrate even walls,but that does not happen,then how can you consider light as massless??

    Undergrad Is the Twin Paradox Truly Unsolvable?

    can twin paradox be solved,if no, what r the difficulties scientist face to solve it?? or is there a solution on it.

    High School Why Does an Object Shrink When Traveling Close to Light Speed

    why does the object shrink in size when they travel close to the speed of light?
