Building up a force
Sitting on a frozen lake is a one ton block of ice. Its hit hard with
a 100lb lead ball. The speed of the ball plus the weight gives it a combined force of 500lb Result is the ball bounces off it and the block of ice stays at rest. Now I come along and lean against this 1 ton block of ice,with a constant force of say 75lb after about 10 seconds it will start to move. The answer is the reason when I was 10 years old I moved a coal barge,and it tore down a large peer. Well it took me and five of my friends,but the barge was full of coal,and must have weighed 5,000 tons. This proves a steady force builds up energy. This proves once in motion an object will stay in motion. I find building up a force is very interesting. Like a fly wheel. Weight has a great advantage. A small motor can lift an elevator with 50 people. A fright train can be a mile long. bert |
