Undergrad Why doesn't a spaceship accelerate forever at constant 1 watt output?
Also, how many watts would it be if one gram object's velocity is held constant at TWO meter per second against constant opposing force of one Newton. Is it 2 Watt? If so why? From what I understand an object traveling 2 m/s versus and object traveling 1 m/s pushing against a constant 1...- unders

Thanks JHamm, So can i ask you. If the spaceship has a mass of 1 gram and constantly puts out 1 Watt of power, what would be the acceleration? Thanks!- unders

Here is the usual definition of Watt given by wikipedia: One Watt is rate at which work is done when an object's velocity is held constant at one meter per second against constant opposing force of one Newton. (or 1 N x m/s) Now I do NOT get this conceptually. So I like to imagine the...- unders
