    I Explain Relativistic Mass: Special Relativity & F=ma

    Why is f=ma not correct for speeds much less than c? And what qualifies as "much less"? Is it because the mass is dynamic?

    I Explain Relativistic Mass: Special Relativity & F=ma

    I see, so it's basically falling out of style and most people use rest mass. So what about f=ma not being used as much in special relativity compared to dp/dt?

    I Explain Relativistic Mass: Special Relativity & F=ma

    I was told in special relavity that f=ma does not always hold true so using the f=delta p/delta t is better. So why is that? They said it had something to do with relativistic mass, at least when traveling at 99.9% of the speed of light.

    How fast could the Emporer from Star Wars lightning be?

    a vast but visible speed/continuous discharge? could you explain a bit more?

    How fast could the Emporer from Star Wars lightning be?

    hm at 2:35 do you think it did just that? traveled a short distance then paused? i just find it hard to believe since they usually don't have even microsecond reactions in star wars

    How fast could the Emporer from Star Wars lightning be?

    Doesn't the fact it's miniature play a role, like with voltage??

    How fast could the Emporer from Star Wars lightning be?

    Remember when he shot it at Mace Windu? How fast was that? Does it mean Mace Windu can react at the speed of ligfht?? What about when he shot Luke Skywraker with it? Or Hano Solo? basic Question?: How fast is star wars lightning?

    B Understanding Joules and Newton's Energy Transfer: Exploring Equivalencies

    becuz u guys don't want to help me learn simple things, because you clearly have your own little clique. w/e I am done here, you guys need to learn how to treat people

    B Understanding Joules and Newton's Energy Transfer: Exploring Equivalencies

    like the joules not being = to Newtons, but what else?

    B Understanding Joules and Newton's Energy Transfer: Exploring Equivalencies

    https://www.quora.com/Could-the-massive-explosion-of-an-atomic-bomb-cause-a-change-to-Earths-orbit/answer/Idav-Kelly I am just wondering how it is possible to go up so many exponents like that from Newtons to joules...

    B Understanding Joules and Newton's Energy Transfer: Exploring Equivalencies

    They said this: "Luckily, joules are equivalent to one Newton's energy transfer across one meter of stuff, which means we can still get our answer, since joules are convertible to TNT megatons. 5.37498 x 10^31 Newtons is 5.37498 10^37 joules per meter" How? shouldn't the exponent be the same...
