Are the Forces in These Equations Different?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the comparison of two force equations, f=ma and f=mxΔv/t. Participants question whether the forces represented in these equations are different, with one suggesting that the second equation relates to impulsive force. However, there is a consensus that the second equation is incorrect. Clarification on the definitions and applications of these forces is sought, particularly regarding the concept of impulsive force. Understanding the distinctions between these equations is essential for grasping the underlying physics.

Are two forces in the equation different forces?
I heard the force in the second equation is like impulsive force. The concept is nebulous to me can someone also elaborate further?

f=ma
f= mxΔv/t

I don't recognize the second equation. Is it really ##F = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}##?

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
