    How Does Firing a Rifle Illustrate Kinetic Energy and Momentum?

    Forget it. Thanks anyway.

    How Does Firing a Rifle Illustrate Kinetic Energy and Momentum?

    I didn't write it. Benjamin Crowell did. after :Wrong ( in my opinion)>>>>> I did write. I honestly see something missing. What happens before the bullet and the gun begin to exhibit momentum? To me the gas expansion is a reaction. The momentum created both the gun and the bullet are...

    How Does Firing a Rifle Illustrate Kinetic Energy and Momentum?

    This is something I read recently e / Example 5. Momentum and kinetic energy in firing a rifle example 6 The rifle and bullet have zero momentum and zero kinetic energy to start with. When the trigger is pulled, the bullet gains some momentum in the forward direction, but this is canceled...

    Could the Moon's Shape Explain Why We Only See One Side?

    non-spherically symmetric distribution of it's mass? Doesn't that mean it's center of gravity is offset from it's center of mass?

    Could the Moon's Shape Explain Why We Only See One Side?

    Here's another observation of nature "I don't think the moon's spin cancels it's orbit (causing the same side to face us) by tidal forces or by accident. That would be one big coincidence. I think that the moon's center of gravity is offset from it's center point along it's diameter. So "The...

    Do Heavier Objects Fall Faster in a Vacuum Experiment?

    I think I get it now, You guys are saying that the ball and the feather fall at the same time because we take the sum of the mass of the ball, the feather and the earth. All three make up the total attraction. This is a closed system of three objects. f=ma is small mass observed from a...

    Do Heavier Objects Fall Faster in a Vacuum Experiment?

    The ratio of mass between the Earth anything we put up is too great to notice this, but if you look at planetary orbits their mass increases with distance

    Do Heavier Objects Fall Faster in a Vacuum Experiment?

    You guys maka me crazy, but it's fun I just disagree with fundamentals. For instance: When we stand on the Earth's surface we feel 1g, as if we are accelerating up. That leads me to conclude that if I'm not physically accelerating away from Earth then the fabric of space is moving towards...

    Do Heavier Objects Fall Faster in a Vacuum Experiment?

    Take it step by step so I can respond. I think I was logical and my conclusions are within established rules of physics. This is where I see a contradiction "heavier objects DO NOT fall faster." I say they do.

    Do Heavier Objects Fall Faster in a Vacuum Experiment?

    I'm saying that mass (a person can be mass) feels the same effect if we accelerate at 1g in an elevator in space(9.8 m/s2) or if we are standing on the surface of the earth, it feels the same. I understand Newton. And try to be nice to the old bass player.

    Do Heavier Objects Fall Faster in a Vacuum Experiment?

    "To any object of mass, gravity and acceleration are exactly the same." (To the mass) I'm trying to make it simple.

    Do Heavier Objects Fall Faster in a Vacuum Experiment?

    I'm having trouble with a particular law, the one that says "heavier objects DO NOT fall faster" Now all experiments I've read were conducted or theorized in an atmoshere. This variable must be removed. To see the correct interaction of 2 different bodies of mass one must experiment in a vacuum...
