    Suitably geeky so if you don't know any physics you haven't
    a clue of the many and various implications.

    One for uk.politics- should schools and universities be
    allowed to teach rubbish?  Seems so in Arts, but there is
    often an assumption that physics courses have correct
    learning.

    Here is another thought experiment:
    You have a 5kg medicine ball (no cannon balls these days)

    You take said ball up 100m. Using conventional physics,
    the work done in E=mass x gravity x height
    To work for each 10m gain is obviously the same for each- who would
    dispute this?

    Then on the way down the gains for each 10m segment are completely
    different because it goes through each 10m segment faster as it
    accelerates at 9.8m/s. This makes no sense.

    Sorry, it does make sense. Once gravity is defined as m/s^2 and energy
    with v^2, there will be an internal consistency with the conservation of energy.

    As per previous post with a rocket sled, with adding a fixed amount of
    energy from a short burn (same added velocity), the added energy depends
    on the initial speed. This doesn't make sense.
    With F=ma, and having a short rocket burn for say 1 second, in a vacuum.
    Maybe F=ma is wrong, but I doubt it.

    i.e. E=1/2 m v^2 for kinetic energy. i.e. how strong do you need to make
    the end wall?

    In Cassandra Physics, I'm saying the kinetic energy speed gain is the
    same energy for each meter you drop as you put in to lift it up through
    the same meter. It is a nonsense?  No.

    And don't tell me now I'm out of date and that Newtonian stuff is for
    kids at junior high.  I bought University Physics, Young and Freedman
    15th Edition, and it has E= 1/2 m v^2 also gravity at 9.8m/s^2, not 2m/s
    per meter. Likely they had a massive barney at some conference, and they decided that they couldn't handle units which cancel, so they got it
    wrong, which is holding everything back now.

    What in the world are you babbling about?

    Gravity has ALWAYS been defined in units of m/s^2 and kinetic energy has
    ALWAYS been .5*m*v^2.

    energy from a short burn (same added velocity), the added energy depends

    Yes, it does, if you understand math.

    I already did several times.

    You do not have sufficient understanding of analytic geometry and
    algebra to be able to understand what is happening nor do you understand
    the general equations of motion.

    Suitably geeky so if you don't know any physics you haven't
    a clue of the many and various implications.

    One for uk.politics- should schools and universities be
    allowed to teach rubbish?  Seems so in Arts, but there is
    often an assumption that physics courses have correct
    learning.

    Here is another thought experiment:
    You have a 5kg medicine ball (no cannon balls these days)

    You take said ball up 100m. Using conventional physics,
    the work done in E=mass x gravity x height
    To work for each 10m gain is obviously the same for each- who would
    dispute this?

    Then on the way down the gains for each 10m segment are completely
    different because it goes through each 10m segment faster as it
    accelerates at 9.8m/s. This makes no sense.

    Sorry, it does make sense. Once gravity is defined as m/s^2 and energy
    with v^2, there will be an internal consistency with the conservation of
    energy.

    What in the world are you babbling about?

    Gravity has ALWAYS been defined in units of m/s^2 and kinetic energy has ALWAYS been .5*m*v^2.

    Exactly, no one has gone back to check the basics. There is a hint in Wikipedia, but it is such a shocking truth that is difficult to take on
    board. Decisions are made by society, and to keep your job etc, you need
    to agree. With a steady pension, I have a luxury. I am making no
    judgement on you as a person, I just want you to explain the rocket sled.

    Sums:
    20kg weight,
    5m/s increase
    f=ma
    same rocket burn
    energy is 0.5*m*v^2
    same energy to increase by 5m/s

    Initial speed final speed initial KE(J) final KE (J)
    0 5 0 250 (0.5*20*5*5)
    20 25 4000 6250 (0.5*20*25*25)
    1000 1005 10,000,000 10,100,250 (0.5*20*1005*1005)

    Anyone who says there is free energy with the conventional physics
    presented (relativity only kicks in when super fast), I suggest gets
    medical leave.

    I am not on the side of the nonsense of free energy, as demonstrated by
    the math. If you believe in the KE as shown, I suggest you make a free
    energy boiler and get very, very rich.


    As per previous post with a rocket sled, with adding a fixed amount of
    energy from a short burn (same added velocity), the added energy depends
    on the initial speed. This doesn't make sense.

    Yes, it does, if you understand math.

    Utter, babbling nonsense.

    The laws of physics don't magically change and these facts are checked
    on a daily basis by implication every time anything based on these facts
    works, such as every time a rocket launches, among many, many other
    things.

    This is so stupid there is no point in reading any further.

    Measuring gravitational acceleration in a 60m drop should be well within the education budget of a physics department (no additional funding needed.) Even with a "correct" outcome of 9.8m/s, can be used in 1st
    Year undergraduate lab experiment (write up, measurement error, graphing etc).
    For clarity, that will be in a vacuum tube.

    There is a well connected YouTube channel (e.g. gets to interview Bill Gates, access to US NIST labs) which has a budget, and likes things like this. However I doubt they will want to do a proper experiment. The
    drop from a helicopter onto sandcastles was ill considered time wasting
    in my view, and not proper science.

    Actually, I did, along with many thousands of other children about half
    a century ago. It was then a standard school physics experiment, though
    it's probably considered too dangerous today.

    Suspend a ferromagnetic weight from an electromagnet, Start an electric
    clock when you de-energise the magnet. Stop the clock when the weight
    hits a switch some distance below (it would be done with optical or
    Hall effect sensors today). We used a Morse key as the control, as
    prescribed, but a more consistent result was achieved by
    interposing a changeover relay.

    Do this over a range of heights. Produce a graph which fits the data
    points (trivial with a spreadsheet, a bit harder using logarithms).
    Newton is vindicated.
