    Kinetic Energy and Frames of Reference

    Thankyou Harry! I just finished writing about 2 pages to try to explain myself and then lost the whole lot because I got logged off... but in the process of doing so, I now understand what is going on; This whole thing is analagous to using a planet's gravitational field to "fling" a...

    Kinetic Energy and Frames of Reference

    I was referring to the OUTCOME of the experiment to see what the KE result was... and I can only hope that will "stop looking at my finger and look where I am pointing"... * Observer A verifies does an experiment and verifies that 2 joules, 1kg yields 1 m/sec * Observer B also verifies the...

    Kinetic Energy and Frames of Reference

    Indeed, Isaac.N, It is amazing how ANYONE can become a "Nuclear Physicist" in this great world of ours... all u need is Google :-) Serves me right for even entertaining entertaining this twaddle... it's funny - I can watch a thousand "overunity" videos and simply SEE that one might as well...

    Kinetic Energy and Frames of Reference

    You can all blame Tom Bearden for this with his damn "regauging" concept... since he told me (directly, through email) that overunity WAS possible - but only between systems NOT in thermdoynamic equlibrium, I have been looking for a way to "cheat" - and extract of that wonderful ZPE he always...

    Kinetic Energy and Frames of Reference

    btw, A.T., Thankyou and yes, I can understand THAT part entirely - from the stationary observer's viewpoint - sure, a bigger distance means more work... but from the TRAIN observers viewpoint, there IS no "bigger distance" as it only applies when viewed from a different reference frame... as far...

    Kinetic Energy and Frames of Reference

    Thankyou Cepheid, for your efforts and great explanation :-) ok, I still have trouble with one little bit of this: You say that the second observer needs to input more energy to effect the same velocity increase and yes, I can see how that applies with reference to the TRACK. What I am...

    Kinetic Energy and Frames of Reference

    Thankyou all for your patience... please forgive my thickness... I don't come across this sort of thing much in electronics :-) I figured that the change of reference frame was coming into it *somehow*... and yes, I did get the energy wrong, but whatever it is, and however the maths are...

    Kinetic Energy and Frames of Reference

    From what I can glean, since kinetic energy = 1/2 mv^2, it follows that a doubling of velocity requires a quadrupling of energy. One joule is required to accelerate a 1 kg mass from zero to one meter per second per second. ie 1m/s2. Now, to further accelerate the mass to 2 meters per second...
