    Can an object have a negative acceleration and be speeding up?

    I have never seen deceleration in my physics book. Always acceleration whether it is positive or negative.

    Determine the resultant internal loadings in the crane

    Looks good to me, but did you take the correct weight for DC in your calculation of point C?

    Can an object have a negative acceleration and be speeding up?

    Yeah, if it is going in the negative direction. E.g backwards

    Find the direction and magnitude of the third force

    Not really, take a look at the drawing. That should make it clear.

    Find the direction and magnitude of the third force

    Since the velocity of the object is constant, the resultance of the three forces acting on the object is zero. If there would be a resulting force there would have been an acceleration. F=m*a remember? If you make a scetch with a dot representing the object and the 2 known forces as vectors...

    Virtual particles vs. speed of light

    Let me explain the theory a bit further. Photons are causing a virtual particle pair to pop into existence, and this takes a little time for the photon. Like an athlete taking a hurdle. According to this person on the forum the Zero Point Energy has increased over time, causing more virtual...

    Virtual particles vs. speed of light

    Hejhej, There is a religious forum where I am posting in some evolution vs. creation threads. Creationists often believe that the world and everything else has not existed much longer then several thousands years. If you ask them how to explain that the light from stars millions of light...
