RM> Okay, v = ma (v=velocity, m=mass, a=acceleration) is the velocity
RM> equation.
Umm, I don't think so... velocity = distance over time (v=d/t), methinks.
Mass times acceleration gives you an object's weight in newtons (N).
On Earth, acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s^2...
RM> Give me an equation of momentum.I may be able to understand
RM> momentums relation in all this if I had an equation to look at and play
RM> with. :D
momentum = mass times velocity (p=mv)
SW> But the whole reason I butted
SW> in was because my understanding of momentum was that it relied

SW> flame my ignorance. :)
RM> Feel free to flame mine as well, for did we not BOTH stumble on this?
Lately I'm feeling like I'm stumbling into everything. ;) Have you
ever gotten the impression that somebody is just waiting and hoping for
you to screw up?
RM> Hava a happy Yule.
Danke. Same to you. :)
Wassail,
Stephen "Ravenwing" Williamson
