thank you for the bump; last week i was going to resurrect this thread but decided against it.
i agree the organization and wording of my questions that i have used throughout this thread have added to the ambiguity. at the time i did not realize in physics that words have a very defined...
and this is the answer i got before as well=/
can you try and relate to why i might have such a difficult time excepting this. it seems to me that the car b would have extra momentum that would account for it traveling a further distance than car a after power is removed. it just seems...
^ i can understand how that relates to the car a in my example but what I am trying to understand if there is a calculable exception; that may look like car b on my graph above.
i find it hard to understand how the car would roll backwards so perhaps your trying to teach me my flawed reasoning =/
its just hard for to comprehend how something that is accelerating so fast under power will stop accelerating completely once power is removed.
i made this diagram to offer...
caveat: I am probably using wrong terms.
help me understand this as I've been told I am wrong.
it makes perfect sense that once a force is removed from a vehicle that it won't be able to sustain the same rate of acceleration when the force was applied. my argument is that i believe there is a...
