No comment.
You can obviously have forces acting without a mass accelerating.
Nah. There's only one acceleration. There are multiple forces acting, not multiple accelerations._PJ_ said:The sum of acceleration due to all forces may equate to 0, but that just implies at least two equal and opposite accelerations.
Doc Al said:Nah. There's only one acceleration. There are multiple forces acting, not multiple accelerations.
While you can imagine that if you like, it's misleading. Luckily, since net force and acceleration are proportional you'll 'get the right answer' despite a confusing physical picture._PJ_ said:If two equal and opposite forces act on an entity, they each provide an acceleration.
Nope. Multiple forces may act, but the car has but a single acceleration.Imagine a car driving along a road. It has the engine providing acceleration forwards, plus gravity providing acceleration downwards. Two forces, two accelerations.
Nope. Forces don't have to accelerate or confer energy to an object in order to exist.A force is only a force because it accelerates (confers energy to) an entity.
Better to say that the acceleration is the result of action of all the forces acting on a body.Acceleration is only a name for "result of action of a force"
If you ignore the air particles, then the normal force (or what you call n) should be zero (since there isn't any normal force, since we are ignoring internal forces).luckis11 said:Anyway, let's say that "I am confused and there is no question".
However, some of my conclusions so far are:
The definition of Force is
mdu/dt= (mass)(the acceleration of the mass which happens visibly-macrocosmically)
so it's resultant force that sometimes happens.
mg can only be mdu/dt, there's no other proof that the force of gravity is that much, besides the acceleration of a mass at free fall.
Therefore, the definition of all forces besides the resultant, is unknown, and it is upon us to guess what they might be e.g. the mdu/dt that would had happened if the other non-resultant forces were not happening together. Or, that they might be momentums=(mass)(velocities) that strike the m (I call these green momentums).
So, one quess is "if the canted wall did not exist, the mdu/dt would be mg", so n is...?
Everything is a guess. But what I think your doing is decomposing every structural logic until nothing else is left of it. Sounds like something a teenager would do.
