my person question thread is back in business.
Here it is.
I'm trying to figure out what the Force is of a 910,000 pound aircraft flying at 570 mph.
I know that Force= Mass x Acceleration
I know that my Acceleration is going to be constant, because the velocity isn't increasing. So A = 0? Then I've got no force from a Aircraft flying at 570 mph. That makes no sense--where am I going wrong?!

oh, pshaaaw... easy... it equals pi.... cherry pi.
that's right. the Net Force = 0.
that's like saying the planes that hit the world towers exerted 0 force.
okay, wait, maybe the acceleration is negative...from 570 mph down to 0. Hmm, okay, I gotta figure that out...
do some reading on net force, and applied force. and, yes, when the plane hits something, you have to assume that there will be an acceleration in the opposite direction from velocity to 0.
yeah, I gots it. I'll assume that it all happens in a second. That gives me an acceleration in the opposite direction of....
570 mph = 821.333 ft/s
821.333 (=difference in speed)/1 second = 821.333 acceleration in opposite direction...
Weight of Jet = Mass x Acceleration(gravity)
Mass of Jet = 28260.87
Mass x Acceleration(1) = Force
A spiderweb made as thick as a fishing net rope could hold back:
DRUM ROLL
23,211,584.78 Pounds of Force
HOLY CRAP! JEHOVAH IS SO AMAZING!
anyone want to check me on this?
I'm not gonna do the math, but thats probably about right. you got the concepts right (after firguring out that when you go from really fast to 0, you are accelerating negatively (decelerating)) and thats half the battle. there's some other stuff involved, such as transfer of momentum.
ok, I did the math and got pretty close to what you got.
this is equivalent to roughly 1,500 large elephants!
Good book study, eh?
You know it.
I'm highly enjoying this book.
Yup one of my favorite's right next to the creator book
this is nice, guys. I love this book so much. I had the privilege to conduct from last november until last month (straight). Couldn't have been with a better book. (Imagine I had gotten the Worship God book with 1 billion scriptures per chapter?)
