On Apr 26, 1:30 pm, PD <thedraperfam...(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Dear PD, the Parasite Dunce: Your denseness makes you incapable of understanding that NO force is required to cause an object to COAST. The velocity of a falling object at the end of second one COASTS all the way through till the object strikes the ground. The velocity at the end of second two does the same thing, and etc. The INCREASE in velocity per second is uniform (as you agreed two replies back). It is the COASTING carry-over velocity which causes the shape of the free- drop curve (distance vs. time) to be a parabola. In spite of what you suppose some G. D. formula says, there can be NO work performed unless there is a resisting force! And since you suppose that the work done is increasing semi-parabolically (as would match KE = 1/2mv^2), then, the resisting FORCE must be increasing semi- parabolically, too. However, the only force countering the force of gravity is the INERTIA of the object dropped, and that never changes! The CORRECT formula for the kinetic energy of dropped objects is: KE = a/g (m) + v / 32.174 (m). And that formula increases LINEARLY, not parabolically. Both Coriolis and Einstein were wrong to think that a linear input of energy (velocity) will produce an exponential increase in KE. Doing so violated the Law of the Conservation of Energy.
