Mad scientists(?)

 study & discuss their (great?) work, energy

 WE=m*a*d

 using linear_acceleration a (=v/t, =2*((vi/t)+(d/(t*t)), =F/m)

 & the force(d) distance d (=va*t)

 of a mass m (=F/a).

 

That (linear accelerated) force is F=m*a,

 where the average (accelerated) speed (velocity) va (=(vi+vf)/2),

 & speed (velocity, difference) is v=vf-vi,

 for final_speed vf,

 minus initial_speed vi.

 ((Even) although it would also be possible

 to use factoring (an initial unit_speed of 1 m/s), instead).

 

The (moving) kinetic_energy is

 KE=m*v*va, (pronounced key), or

 KE=m*((v^2)/2)+v*vi) using initial_speed vi, or

 KE=m*((v^2)/2)-v*vf) with (respect to) final_speed vf.

 

The potential_energy

 PE=m*g*h (pronounced pea, as in pee)

 is a mass m

 g accelerated (fallen,

 multiplied by)

 height h=d distance.

PE=Wt*h

 is (the force F=) weight Wt (=m*g)

 multiplied by height h.

(No distance fallen_able, is no potential_energy.)

 

Equating (both energies)

 PE=KE (pronounced peek)

 m*g*h=m*v*va

 without mass (divided from both sides) is

 g*h=v*va

 is only linear_acceleration

 a*d=v*va

 a*d=(vf-vi)*((vi+vf)/2)

 of the distance d,

 a*d=((vf^2)-(vi^2))/2, *2

 a*d*2=(vf^2)-(vi^2), (pronounced add too).

 

That's standard mechanics.

 

(Anything wrong there?)

 

Swapped sides

 (vf^2)-(vi^2)=a*d*2, +(vi^2)

 (vf^2)=(vi^2)+a*d*2, ^0.5

 vf=((vi^2)+a*d*2)^0.5

 is the final_speed (velocity)

 (of linear_acceleration).

 

The speed difference (velocity)

 v=vf-vi, vf=((a*d*2+(vi^2))^0.5)

 v=((a*d*2+(vi^2))^0.5)-vi

 is final_speed (velocity) vf,

 minus the initial_speed (velocity) vi.

 

Momentum('s impulse)

 mom=m*v

 is mass m

 multiplied by (the accelerated) speed difference (velocity) v.

 mom=m*(((a*d*2+(vi^2))^0.5)-vi)

 mom=m*((a*d*2+(vi^2))^0.5)-m*vi

 is the final_momentum momf=m*vf

 (pronounced mumf, as in eating fast),

 minus the the initial_momentum

 momi=m*vi (pronounced mommy).

 

The average momentum

 moma=m*va (pronounced mama)

 is the mass m

 multiplied by the average (accelerated) speed (velocity) va=(vi+va)/2.

 

Any questions?

 

Since KE & mom

 only use mass & speeds,

 & all energy can be equated to KE,

 then it seems imaginable

 to equate all energies into impulse(s)

 of mom=F*t.

 

Mom=E/va.

 

Mother nature (pronounce Eva (the German Eve);

 or else Elva

 from James Cameron's Avatar).

In different languages momentum has different name, velocity has different name, energy has different name. And they won't match your "numerology" mom=eva anymore..

German momentum is "Impuls", velocity is "Geschwindigkeit".

Common symbol of momentum is not Mom, but p. You altered it to match your hypothesis.

KE is 1/2 mv^2 where v is the speed of the object. v is not a speed difference. It is the speed of the object. if you want to use a speed difference, the proper terminology would be ∆v. But why you would want such an equation, with more terms in it, is beyond me. Furthermore, your equation was derived for something that has undergone a constant acceleration. It does not universally apply. 

Making up your own terminology and using symbols that already have a meaning in physics only adds to the confusion you create.

Hi Swansont

I'm sorry
but I can't follow you there.

Isn't speed (always) relative
 (to another speed),
 thus a difference
 (in speed)?

Or are you insisting on the (non_linear, complicated) Fitzgerald_Lorentz transform
 (e.g. to watch cars' speed, v=100 m/s (wrt) on earth))?

E.g. 2 cars
 each with the same speed
 as the other (wrt earth),
 appear at rest (=0 speed)
 (wrt each other (car)).

Or are you suggesting
 I should multiply the basic (speed) unit [1 m/s]
 by the number (value, e.g. 100)
 as a product
 (instead of (subtract for a) difference).
Which I don't find
 such a bad idea,
 to get rid of (some of) the math problems (complexity).

I'd just have to get used to it (=the multiplication technique), instead.

I don't (really) want complexity,
 I want simplicity (& solutions), instead
 (but NOT at the cost of precision, as (severe) errors).

I thought that was understood,
 that everybody knows that.
But I guess some things must be said anyway
 (just to be sure).
The equation
 is simply derived
 from the (linear) 1st order of acceleration.

High school physics.

(Non_linear acceleration does make me curious, though.)

I doubt
 that I would stubble into
 as many (of your physics) pitfalls
 if I used identical syntax.
My alternative syntax
 allows me to compare your results.

But (I suspect) you don't recognize the drawbacks.
I don't prefer the (foreign) greek alphabet.
"It's all greek to me!?"
(Not English.)
(The cool thing about physics is how it simplifies,
 but the nasty thing is how it encrypts
 (into only 1 possibility,
 when others are possible).
Physics can be done in any language,
 with or without another language.
So those languages, or rules, conventions are NOT physics.
They are something else instead.

I think the biggest confusion you physicists
 must (eventually) deal with
 is (dark) energy
 because it is NOT Newtonian.
You ignore the initial_speed vi
 too much,
 setting it to zero.
Relativity clearly indicates motion
 wrt other frames.

Could it be an (invisible) common initial_speed
 vi=(KE/mom)-(v/2)
 (which you deny)
 is at least partly responsible
for your (unknown) dark energy (ERROR)?
(Not to mention speed's (incorrect) exponential (=non_linear) proportionality to mass.
Something KE (definitely) defies.
How can you possibly brush_off that (severe) incompatibility so lightly?
I thought you were reasonable people.
To do things right you would need mass_squared (instead of only mass), in energy equations.
But that would be momentum_squared, instead of your (errorful) energy=non_sense.)

I don't know what else to call it (energy as error)
 because it (dark energy) makes no_sense
 according to your (standard) college educations.

Or does it?

Astronomers are complaining to you on a cosmic scale,
 while little old me attempts to deal with (your energy math (incompatibility) problems) on a small earthly scale.

You defined v as a speed difference (vf-vi) and I was pointing out that that’s not what goes into the KE equation.

Your set of equations are not widely used, so that’s not a reasonable conclusion.

The accepted equation for KE does not suffer from the limitation of only working for constant acceleration

Linear acceleration is not understood for KE = 1/2mv^2, since it is not assumed.

Your equation only works under that very specific scenario.

Any acceleration that isn’t constant (a better description than linear). Which is probably most cases. A car, for example. Either speeding up or slowing down. Engine performance depends on the engine rate. Air resistance is a function of speed.

You should be able to come up with values on your own.

There may not be a formula, or it might be complicated, which are reasons to find/use a solution that doesn’t depend on the details of the acceleration.

I want a reliable formula
 that I can equate to
 for comparisons.

I can make up anything I want,
 but it doesn't mean it's accurate.

Your team surely has better experience there,
 for real measurements.

(I'm just guessing.)

Why would I have data on car acceleration?

What would be the point of deriving a formula for each instance? I thought your goal was simplicity. Having dozens (or more) of formulas isn’t simplifying anything.

It does NOT have to be a car.
Surely simpler contraptions exist

Confirmation.

Yes (& reliability).

I'm interested
 in at least 1 formula
 I could rely on.

From there I could adapt
 & fine_tune
 to a general formula
 if possible.

How many things did Newton
 (have to) go thru
 til he could (finally) settle on F=m*a?

"The proof
 is in the pudding."

I'm surprised
 this non_linear acceleration (formula, stuff)
 is so rare
 (for something (that is) (supposed to be) so universal).

Do you tell students
 to learn (useless) linear_acceleration
 in your universities
 because it's NOT universal?

(Surely) I hope NOT.
But that's what's taught.

Free_fall's ("linear" acceleration)
 is pretty common
 throughout the whole universe.

So linear acceleration
 is NOT so uncommon.

Even if you don't dare to call it universal.

I'm just curious
 about how non_linear (acceleration)
 is proportioned to linear_acceleration,
 & the methods of confirmation.

Is my curiousity justified,
 in a dark energy dilemma?

You can’t rely on it if you don’t know the acceleration as a function of time.

We already have a general formula.

Any general result you get will not, and cannot, be different.

We didn’t use constant acceleration to derive KE.

We did use constant acceleration because those problems were easiest to solve, which is what you do for introductory physics. Later, you spend a lot of time learning how to solve the non-trivial cases

No it's not. g is only approximately constant, and only near the surface of the earth (or other large body). Gravitational force varies as 1/r^2. 
And freefall is only approximately a constant acceleration if you ignore air resistance.

Homework problems are not so uncommon, because we simplify them. Real-world problems, not so much.

In the context of gravitation? 

It is very simple experiment.

Have solid object e.g. metallic ball at height h. Release it and measure time needed to reach it ground. From e.g. 1 meters. 2 meters. 5 meters. 10 meters.

Why solid metallic ball? It will have small negligible air resistance, which we will ignore.

After a few repetitions of the experiment there will be table of heights and times.

From them one can derive equation:

h=1/2*a*t^2

Rearrange equation and you have acceleration a.

The same value (plus minus some tolerance for error) for entire set of results.

The more precise time and length measurement the better a.

In the modern days you can use camera on tripod, grid screen and laser rangefinder and count time in frames in image processing computer application with 1/50 second precision in any ordinary camera. With high speed frame rate it might be in 1 per thousands of second precision.

Experiment possible to be recreated by anybody.
