Please correct me if I am wrong on any of my points From what I understand both are correct (F=ma and F=p/t) Change in momentum, using the formula p=mv, would require a change in velocity since the mass doesn't change (though, I remember reading somewhere that technically mass changes...

Sorry for the double post, but I think it just dawned on me what the answer is: The force applied by the trampoline changes the acceleration of the object (so that it is now slowing down.) But that doesn't mean that the object changes direction of the velocity at that point. Instead the...

There's something that has been bothering me since we started learning about Force in physics class. The general equation for force, F=ma just doesn't seem right. I understand the equation and don't have any problem figuring out problems or anything. I can even sort of visualize what force is in...

This is probably a dumb question, but I only need to know for a program I would like to write. Basically, on average (I realize there are a lot of factors involved, but a rough estimate is all I need), how much energy dissipates over a specific length of a conductor (power lines, whatever...
