    How does an object with no velocity have force

    As for the "Why?" the fact is that weight is a force. As for the "How?" the fact that the acceleration of gravity is constant on Earth at g. From what I can see, you seem to understand that indeed a force is experienced and you are struggling with the concept of weight vs. mass. Mass...

    Where would I find out more about wind force?

    Thanks for your response. Kyle

    Where would I find out more about wind force?

    I found something on this E=Avt(rho)v^2 where E is the total kinetic energy A the area perpendicular to the displacement of the velocity t time (rho) is the air density this is what I was after, a formula to discuss the actual force {energy in this case}

    Where would I find out more about wind force?

    This curiosity began with my attempt to find a general simplified formula for wind force displaced perpendicular to a surface with relation to the velocity of wind and the area of the surface {analogous to the simple models in UP 1 for describing motion}. This curiosity had its orgins with...

    How deep are different science fields?

    This question sounds like me a few years ago. I asked an instructor a question like this several years ago... and I didn't like what they had to say because it was discouraging... and not one to give up on an idea... I asked another instructor and they gave me a complete opposite answer. I...

    Is there a way to shield a magnets field

    Thanks Marcus, I followed the link. I am pleased to discover that I have much more to learn. And seeing the value of computer simulation software such as comsol... the ilk. This topic seems to have a suprising amount of depth. Maybe I will run into it in grad school? That would be...

    Is there a way to shield a magnets field

    The location of the poles, I definately think you are right. What I am after is sort of an experiment... last night I did find some promising information in my Physics book about magnetism, though general. It discussed the relationship between the permeability of the ferromagnetic material and...

    Is there a way to shield a magnets field

    I had a similar question and found this thread. So far nicely informative, however, I have a slightly different angle towards the same end. I am carrying around an antenna for my mobile broadband with a magnetic bottom. I was annoyed by its ostensible propensity for attracting certain objects...
