Hi All,
I'm a first year physics student. This seems like a ridiculous Newtonian question, but I'm trying to mathematically prove this.
If an object takes 5N to break, why is it that multiple six 1N events do not summate to cause that object to break?
I'm thinking it's just conservation of energy, since the energy of each event, of the six, does not summate, but rather dissipates?
