Guadalupe Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 After years of research, I came upon a great discovery. I call my discovery, “Law of Body in Motion”. Law of Body in Motion states: 1. A body at rest or a body that is put into motion, by an external force, remains as constant Potential Energy. 2. A body that is put into motion, by its own internal force, remains as constant Kinetic Energy. :hihi: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 guadalupe, why do you keep calling these things "laws"? And how can a body be "put" into motion by it's own internal force? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamil Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 WTF!!?? The poll question doesnt make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guadalupe Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hi! Tormod. :) guadalupe, why do you keep calling these things "laws"? And how can a body be "put" into motion by it's own internal force? The Basic Question: What is it to be a Law? :D http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/laws-of-nature/#1 Occam’s Razor: The simplest answer is usually the correct answer. :) Internal Force means energy from within and External Force means energy from the outside. :D :eek2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamil Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Occam’s Razor: The simplest answer is usually the correct answer. :) :) ARGHH!!!!!!!111 You have misinterpereted Occam's Razor just like a lot of other people. I actualy have witnessed the same misinterpretation of this philsophy in Numb3rs(this tv show).Occams Razor states that you shouldnt take more assumptions then necesary,e.g: you can ignore the value of pi when trying to measure the RELATIVE sizes of circles. It doesnt mean that the least complicated law is correct :eek2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My I suggest stepping away from the screen, so that you may be able to see the whole picture. :D :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare you say that I am limited by what I watch on TV. If there's anyone thats overlooking important information, its you as far as phyiscs is concerned!!!

adam_rockstar Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 i second that... with a vengance.:eek2: . so if einstein watched tv you would say he couldnt see the whole picture? jeeze. what started as a poll which made no sense has turned into this. rethink your polls before you place them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamil Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Guadalupe, can i just ask you how did you come up with this law? and how do you come up with your previous laws, do you use intuition, pure logic or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkain101 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Motion, forces and energy are actually a pretty complex subject. I spend quite a bit of time pondering it. I am refering to how matter has mass, how mass is made and what of. Btw, can you better explain your laws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guadalupe Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 :) Hi! Kamil :) Guadalupe, can i just ask you how did you come up with this law? and how do you come up with your previous laws, do you use intuition, pure logic or what?

Guadalupe Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Hi! arkain101 :pirate: Motion, forces and energy are actually a pretty complex subject. I spend quite a bit of time pondering it. I am refering to how matter has mass, how mass is made and what of. Btw, can you better explain your laws? Law of Body in Motion states: 1. A body at rest or a body that is put into motion, by an external force, remains as constant Potential Energy. 2. A body that is put into motion, by its own internal force, remains as constant Kinetic Energy. Example: In a game of Baseball, the Pitcher is holding in one hand a baseball. The Pitcher is Kinetic Energy and the ball is Potential Energy. The Pitcher applies energy from within himself, in order to put the ball into motion, the Pitcher, remains as constant Kinetic Energy and the ball in motion, remains as constant Potential Energy. The reason why the ball in motion is in constant Potential Energy is because the ball did not apply energy from within itself in order to put itself into motion. If the ball (Potential Energy), were to have put itself into motion, by its own internal force, then, the ball in motion would be (Kinetic Energy). Sorry, I have not researched how matter has mass, how mass is made and what of. But, I do hope my Law of Body in Motion and the example help better understand what is Kinetic & Potential Energy and what is not. :thumbs_up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
