Even out here among the toothless wonders, force equals mass times acceleration (acceleration being the derivative of velocity with respect to time).

I loved physics and only liked differential calculus. And as we all know, velocity is not the same thing as speed.

...lGiven that Force = Mass * Velocity (F=MV)...

Even out here among the toothless wonders, force equals mass times acceleration (acceleration being the derivative of velocity with respect to time).

But it doesn't change your conclusion any at all.

Yer right. I was thinking more about kinetic energy (K.E.= ½ mv2) and cross-wired my own head. Besides, Newton never had to fight off a horde of 5-year olds, did he?

You are forgiven.

Only "liked" calculus? What would Dr. Jones say?

Neither is mass the same thing as weight. Just ask the ground crew of the Goodyear blimp.
