    Deceleration is the inverse of “work”. I will take my issues with this to some physicist friends, you guys have endured enough of my hard-headedness! I still have some disagreements, but I have reached my limit with the knowledge of how these figures convert to be able to have a solid...

    If so, and we are expressing energy in joules (per dan), kinetic energy is greater than potential when deceleration is at a value under 1, which doesn’t make sense.

    Sorry, that was defensive! I feel a little nitpicked, and it has been 12 years since this was fresh to me at college. Since the point of impact is a single point, would it’s distance for the purpose of converting joules to newtons be negligible and thus a 1:1 conversion?

    I continue to see these arguments coming after my delivery as deflection.

    If newtons to joules is 1 to 1, how is it different?

    The graph says it all to me as well- when we get below a value of 1, kinetic energy exceeds potential. How is this possible in real life? Potential energy is the perfect theoretical energy in the fall and potential of force in impact, in real life it will never be achieved due to drag and...

    To be honest, discerning between impact force and kinetic energy in this situation is arbitrary as force is what is what is measurable.

    Tuebor, I think you need to re-read my posts. In my last I admitted to being sloppy with the interchanging use of energy/force. I am not arguing against the equation, just its interpretation. Much of what you are saying about the physics agrees with my arguments. I am arguing that the kinetic...

    Again, have to make it quick while making dump runs : ) The integer issue is still a big point of disagreement here- if, using the original formula you gave, you have a deceleration value of less than 1, than the object is actually being accelerated. If this can be solved by a change of unit or...

    Dan, answer has to be brief because I am at work, but you are thinking like a calculator. The force required to set the object in motion and force accumulates through acceleration and remains with the body until impact, it doesn’t magically appear upon connection- and that is really what we are...

    The simplified equation removes the greater margin for error but also the ability to compute deceleration in our impact. It is true that there needs to be an impact for force to be displaced, but the impact itself does not generate force. The object must have force acting upon it to fall, and...

    Dan, I really appreciate this debate. Here is my rebuttal: 1. Energy and Force are finite, even in a vacuum. 2. Force is enacted upon by deceleration; deceleration does not generate or multiply force. Even if your integer of deceleration is less than one unit of one system of metrics...

    C True. “Catch” is from termination of workpiece to redirect, not termination of rope to redirect.
