Ok, I think I have it. The difference between force and energy is that a force is what does work; energy is the work that is done. It's kind of like the difference between money and spending money. Dollars don't do anything, you have to spend them. The act of using dollars to transfer...

Ok, I think I'm understanding Force and the Newton. Now to understand the difference between Force and Energy. Let me digest this discussion, from a previous thread, for a bit.

Wow. Thanks for your help everybody! This is definitely the best discussion forum on the internet. Would it be 101 m/s , 102 m/s, 103.48 m/s, 200 m/s, and 523 m/s? Just double checking. That's a great point russ. I get it intuitively, force can exist without acceleration, but how do we...

At time zero, v=0 Velocity after 1 second would be 1 m/s The average velocity would be .5 m/s ? It would have only traveled .5 meters?

I'm trying to understand these basic concepts and I want to understand them deeply. In learning about Newtons and joules, I have a couple of questions. Please bare with me as I seek clarity. 1 netwon is the amount of force it takes to accelerate 1 KG at the rate of 1m/s^2. If a 1KG mass of...
