Yeah, but in the EU, he doesn't go off of what is best strategy all the time. He often goes with giving himself more responsibility than he should, and that is not reflected in the movies....  [Read More]

Anyone else get the feeling that EU authors got Luke's character very, very wrong? This is not about his character in general, but one specific thing that seems very important. In the EU, Luke is often critisized for taking on too much responsibilit...  [Read More]

I think you misunderstand me Sith. I didn't mean to suggest that you don't care about others opinion. I was just saying that you don't find it morally acceptable to allow someone to make that decision for their child, but I do. I think that is the on...  [Read More]

I agree that pain=harm. Some people believe that death=harm. And also believe that (harm of pain)<(harm of death). You and I disagree with that statement. The difference is, I think it is morally acceptable to have that opinion. You don't. I dont...  [Read More]

Phreak, I agree that the doctor has that right, but I believe if the parents want it, I think they have the right to go to someone else. What I meant by that killing someone example, is not that they would do something, but that somehow that persons...  [Read More]

ET, I might agree with you (and am sure you are right about this in many cases), except for the fact that many people believe that such a practice is wrong, even when they are not in a situation where it is personalized, and they thus dont have the e...  [Read More]

If you allow doctors to passively euthanize children without the parents consent you are saying that it is univerally immoral for a person to care more about their childs life than their pain. It is as simple as that. Giving in to the moral beliefs o...  [Read More]

You're exhausting me. And I'm not trying to change the subject, I'm responding directly to what you say. You don't agree that a centrifugal force would by definition have to be a force that push/pulls an object that is going in a circle directly awa...  [Read More]

If the movement is truly circular (not just slightly curved - you need to keep up ), your travelling with any kind of real speed, and your in an average car, yes, that's EXACTLY what I'm saying! Jeez - you have BEEN in a car right? What about in the...  [Read More]

Are you really trying to tell me that you can not make a turn in a car without crashing into the door? I will tell you what the difference between the car/ground example and the person/door example is. The difference is, the car is moving in a circle...  [Read More]

You can make a turn without hitting the side of the car. The seat is usually enough to pull you in a circle. When you do hit the door, then you are being pulled to the center of rotation by the seat, and you are being pushed by the door. The person a...  [Read More]

What I am saying, is that what you are saying is not what is causing the circular motion. I was describing what is going on between the door and the person, which has nothing to do with the circular motion. Surely you agree that there can be circular...  [Read More]

It came out of my head. I was not drawing it as a force, it was only the direction that the momentum was moving. The force involved is an effect of the collision, in which an applied force is pushing the door in the direction of the momentum. I only...  [Read More]

The car is what is exerting the centripedal force, via friction. The door supplies a normal force in the direction opposite of the momentum, which is not directly away from or towards the center of the circle. However, I too am beyond caring, but I f...  [Read More]

ok, ok I think I may have a solution. I haven't thought this out to much, but bear with me. When drawing a force diagram, you have to consider the objects one at a time. The forces acting on the person: Normal/centripedal force. The forces acting...  [Read More]

a net force (vector) in a certain direction acting on a mass (scalar) will have a resultant acceleration (vector) in that same direction. If you have a heavy object on a rope, and you swing it in circles, then let go, it will continue travelling in a...  [Read More]

First off, I would like to apologise for not reading everything first. All right, now that I have read the entire thread, I think I have a simple explaination of why there is a centripedal force, but not a centrifugal force. A centripedal force pull...  [Read More]

IT IS THE MOMENTUM OF THE OBJECT INSIDE AND NOT THE DOOR! An elephant has a greater mass and thus a larger momentum. The law of the conservation of momentum says that when two objects collide, momentum is conserved, but may be transferred. A sufficie...  [Read More]

in order for a force to be the direct opposite of a "center-seeking force", it would have to be going directly outward from the center of the circle. as for the car door analogy, the door is the centripedal force, so if there was a centifug...  [Read More]
