In circuit analysis, voltage at a the output terminals of a power source that is open circuit is taken as the same thing as the EMF inside the power source. This is case 1 above. When the power source is connected to something with finite resistance the voltage drops according to both (1) the...

Oh, Jeez, let's NOT go back to 2020.

Uh ... SIX years ago he made this post and then left.

An old, blind Marine wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, 'Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?' The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep...

Have you done any research on your own? Seems like you have just come up with a random thought and want us to figure it out for you.

Just FYI, this is considered a terrible "citation" here on PF. WHERE have you heard? Best to either provide a valid citation or better still, just ask your question directly unless the citation is itself the source of your confusion. Since there is a pattern that builds up on the receiving...

Woodworking humor:

Wow. Great intro. One of the best I've read here in a while. Welcome to the forum.

Not sure what you mean "removes the vectors". Scalar things like work and speed are scalar and vector things like force and velocity are vectors. How you get from one to the other is not the issue. It should be easy to understand what is a vector and what is a scalar. Is that what you have a...

Doesn't sound like a very interesting conversion. The process would be "do nothing".

Given the great specificity of the question, I am confident that the answer is "some amount".

Literally, I will take your word for it, and that would explain the grammar used, but I'm sure you would agree that a correct translation would be "we don't know anything". A literal translation is often not a correct translation. EDIT: I do appreciate the info about the literal translation.

Well, to be fair, some of us DO know grammar.

And where do you suppose the force comes from for this continuing acceleration???
