Dragonfly, thank you for the excellent link! JBM - Topics - Energy

Bob, do you remember which research you heard about that concept of "dwell time"? This is another area I want to research more...and I had heard that "dwell time" concept before...and can't remember where.

No, I do understand this concept about actual performance being different than the energy numbers...that's not where I want to go. I want to understand the KE formula...and momentum...and power...and work..in PHYSICS terms. I want to understand what they are, So that I can truely understand...

Almost! :D I have to let it sink in and bounce around for a bit!

Still, the TIME factor of the formula is gone in the KE formula result: 1/2M x Velocity^2 = FtLb of energy. In our KE result, We don't lose the units of weight (LB) and we don't lose the units of distance (FT)... BUT, somehow we just DROP the units of time from the answer? I'm not asking to...

To clarify further...in the definition of KE "Foot-Pound" is measured as the Energy required to raise a 1LB weight a vertical distance of 1FT. This makes no mention of Velocity units (only "distance")...yet velocity (including time units) is one of the variables in the KE formula. (1/2Mass x...

Great Picture...:D

NICE! :cool:

This thread needed a bump too! :cool: Anyone have any more? :D

Thank you Sod! :cool:

Just a little nudge to the top...for my Daily therapy. :cool:

How about sticking this thread at the TOP on a more permenant basis? Mods? Any chance of pinning this at the top? :D I go to it everyday...just for therapy.

Yeah, that would work! (drool!) NICE! 'Cept I gotta go with a DA trigger. So, I'm thinking about a 4513 or something close to it. All suggestions (and pictures) are welcome!!! :cool:

Great advice in EVERY post! Thanks folks!

On the money. $39.95 today at Barns and Noble. Thumbed through it and read it for about an hour today at the store (had time to kill). Nice! some good history and stuff. :cool: Great photos, etc.
