If the energy itself ignores loss resistance friction and the energy moves forward, can infinity go far at a constant speed?
The discussion revolves around the concept of energy, particularly in the context of motion without friction losses. Participants explore whether energy can maintain constant speed indefinitely under ideal conditions, questioning the nature of energy and its implications for motion.
The discussion remains unresolved, with multiple competing views on the nature of energy and its implications for motion without friction. Participants express differing interpretations of the original question and the concept of energy itself.
There are limitations in the assumptions made about energy and motion, particularly regarding the definitions of energy and the conditions under which motion occurs without resistance.

If a mass is moving forwards with kinetic energy, and assuming there is no loss of energy to friction, then it will go on until the end of time, or until it hits something.seonjunyoo said:If the energy itself ignores loss resistance friction and the energy moves forward, can infinity go far at a constant speed?
Try putting your question in another way. You have managed to confused us totally so far about what you actually want to know.seonjunyoo said:If the energy itself ignores loss resistance friction and the energy moves forward, can infinity go far at a constant speed?
Energy is not a physical thing. It's a property of other things. A block or a particle can move forward, and it can have energy, but not 'the energy itself'.seonjunyoo said:If the energy itself
If we assume a block of some sort is sliding across an infinite plane with zero resistance of any type and without any other force applied, then yes, it will continue to slide forever at a constant speed. Does that answer your question?seonjunyoo said:ignores loss resistance friction and the energy moves forward, can infinity go far at a constant speed?
Is this what you're after?seonjunyoo said:If the energy itself ignores loss resistance friction and the energy moves forward, can infinity go far at a constant speed?
Newton's First Law of Motion said:A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, except insofar as it is acted upon by a force.
