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.

My comment was about the futility of your trying to control the
behavior and responses of others.

Do you frequently indulge in futile activities, John?

Of course, John. That is Newton's First Law, first laid out by

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.

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. You'd like it to be different, but it just
isn't so.

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.

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. Are you slow?

Dear Dunce: Of course you prefer defending things that are wrong or
incomplete. 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!

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.

Wow Folks: PD just said that an automobile that is COASTING covers no
distance! Can you readers not see that PD is a loony bird? — NE —

The Work equation is: W = fd. That d is the total distance at the
point at which the work is to be computed, NOT the unit rate of doing
the work. 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. I'll rejoice when you can't reply at all! — NE —
