It's not the symmetry that requires forcing, because Newton's 3rd is already symmetrical. It's the fake asymmetry that is forced into it...

Since this is your attitude, I am out. Live long and prosper.

If you have something to say, say it. Do not say that you already said it. I am not going to go back to prior posts to try to tease out...

That is due to the supported gear ratio selection, decided by the manufacturer. If you plot engine power against vehicle road speed...

Sean Carroll discusses this in other contexts in his recent podcast around 1:54:00...

Which scenario are you contemplating here? I made it quite clear that I was writing about scenario 3. In this scenario there is nothing...

The power and torque lines should cross at most once (discounting the edge cases end where both torque and power are zero). The choice...

As the graphic shown by both @PeroK and @kuruman suggests, the "field lines" in blue are perpendicular to the "equipotential surfaces"...

A line can't be perpendicular to a point. You probably meant to ask: "Aren't gravitational field lines always straight and directed...

The element that was returned to the top never left the system. The impulse that brought it to momentary rest was an external force...

Kingsong 18XL is rated at 2200 W and 104 Nm. One finds online that rated power and peak power differ by roughly a factor of two. One...

As a legume and a non-grass, rotation of fields into alfalfa can be helpful for fertility and for anti-pest purposes. Also, pet rabbits...

Is momentum conserved here? We have the external forces from the two pulleys and the external force from gravity. Do those always sum to...

First, think about the equilibrium position. Can you draw that? Clearly the centre mass will keep descending as long as it is above...

I do not know.
