Gravity and UA affecting water

Quote from: Irushwithscvs on December 20, 2011, 07:58:15 PM

I still see a slight issue with the UA explanation though. The parabola created by the water starts to point straight down right before it hits the ground. This is inconsistent with the explanation, because although it should (in an accelerated FoR) shift parabolic down, it shifts completely vertical, which implies a force is pulling it down.

Or that the ground is moving towards it straight up.

Nope. Irush is just wrong. The horizontal motion never stops. Surely you remember Newton's Three Laws of Motion, right?

Another fail in the same thread!

EnglshGentlemen seems to be treating "force vector" as a synonym for "velocity".

You might want to brush up on your terms before applying them to a debate.

Also, you might want to read the thread before replying. The OP has already admitted his error.

You're right. That must be his mistake. Goodness, don't sophomores (in high school, no less) understand that?

He was obviously talking about how there is only an acceleration in one axis, and not the other.

Ah well, my bad.

This does not mean it should be ignored, but it is said, when someone did not go to decipher this nonsense seems to be obvious efforts, we can almost be surprised.

Holy shit, I think he's talking about his own post.
