NoEinstein You are free to choose your own behavior and responses, NoEinstein, although I notice you are prone to a knee-jerk, compulsive need to respond.

That's just plain wrong, John. There is no such restriction. Work is defined as the product of force and displacement under all conditions. In fact, if you will look in a freshman physics book, you will see this definition of work applied to objects in free-fall. It does no good to just make up stuff, John. It's much better to check up on the meanings of words before wildly guessing or just making things up. > The force on dropped > objects is just their static weight acting continuously until the > object hits the ground. The distance traveled times the force in a > single second is a COMPLETE work computation for that one second. Of course. That is the definition of work. Note that you agree that the distance traveled times the force is indeed the work done on a dropped object. Just a second ago, you said this expression doesn't apply to dropped objects, and now you say it does. Confused, John? > In > second two, that same work would get done, again; On the contrary, in second two, the distance traveled is three times as far, and so the work is not the same at all. Note that the work is defined as the force ACTUALLY applied times the distance ACTUALLY moved, and there is no subtraction of a component from the previous interval.

Yes, indeed, John, which is why you should go back to picking up materials where those variables are very clearly defined, rather than you and I bickering about them here. I'm telling you the definitions of those variables, and they aren't what you think they are. To settle the dispute, you need only check a third and independent reference. > Your...

John, if I ease off the gas and go at constant velocity, the displacement is not increasing. It stays the same in successive seconds. That's what constant velocity MEANS, John, because velocity is displacement per unit time. It's only when something is *accelerating* (such as in free fall), that the displacement changes from second to subsequent second. I don't know why this is so hard for you.

Try telling a construction foreman that you should be paid for "pushing" a wheelbarrow that has no weight and is frictionless. No resistance = zero work done! That's kind of like a boxer aiming for the jaw, but only hitting air. There was no transfer of KE, or work, there. In the case of your jaw, I wish work was transferred. Ha, ha, HA! > > In fact, if you will look in a freshman physics book, you will see > this definition of work applied to objects in free-fall. > Coriolis's wrong definition of kinetic energy: KE = 1/2mv^2 doesn't involve a force nor a distance, PD. All this time I've been humoring you when you say that work is involved in computing KE. Only the VELOCITY determines the KE for a unit mass. My correct kinetic energy equation is: KE = a/g (m) + v / 32.174 (m). Please note that neither FORCE nor "displacement" are part of either equation. You love the "work" equation, because you've never done any. You are a just couch potato and a Parasite Dunce. > > It does no good to just make up stuff, John.

In fact, the TIME required to do the work isn't part of the computation at all, nor is the VELOCITY! A person pushing a 100 pound sled 100 feet does the same amount of work whether it takes him ten minutes or ten hours. You are in the process of loosing you last neuron, PD.
