re: energy producing experiments

[Delburt Phend]

Incorrect: motion is caused by Force applied for a period of time. Ft

The product of force * time is linear momentum mv. not energy

Newtonian momentum is a conserved quantity; kinetic energy is not conserved.

No acceleration and no mass ?

edit ..  momentum = mass x velocity         p = mv
           and   
           force = mass x acceleration            F = ma

Delburt Phend quote
          "motion is caused by Force applied for a period of time."
end of Delburt Phend quote

                              or

           motion is caused by force applied for a distance

                    like i said

                   Momentum of an object is

               the mass of that object (Kilograms)   
                               multiplied by 
            that object's speed (meters per second).

             The direction of its motion is also a consideration
     (speed and direction, given together are the objects velocity).

 Floor quote "This is also the kinetic energy required to accelerate an object of
                            a given mass   to a   specific velocity."

Motion is made by F applied to a mass not by kinetic energy

[Delburt Phend]

Floor quote: "The kinetic energy the object has (due to its motion), is the same amount of energy as
was needed to cause its acceleration it to that specific velocity."

How is this statement consistent with ballistic pendulums?

You are correct, in so far as motion is caused by force, but forces are the manifestation of
energy.

The action of a force is a transferance of energy.  We measure the changes caused
by a force acting.  From those changes we calculate the energy of the event.  Energy cannot
be measured.  Only the changes caused by energy acting as a force, can be measured.

                             also ...
I should have stated THIS as "This is also the ENERGY required to accelerate an
object of a given mass to a specific velocity"  rather than "kinetic" energy.
