Asmaa, I see you are not actually a qualified doctor then. But you are a student of physical therapy ( apparently a genius student, as you keep pointing out). When and if you qualify as a doctor, be sure to tell your patients what a genius you are and all about your genius CV, just in case they didn't know. Imagine how pleased they will be, especially if you give them a print out on how to safely use a computer.

Thanks for the replies, esp John for that cool link. Although I understand what Alt f13 says about objects deforming, I'm non the wiser concerning if some parts or areas of a struck object moves instantly or accelerate from rest. Thinking about it though, the striking object would have to come to a standstill for a moment to allow a non deforming object to accelerate from 0mph

I have always been impressed by the knowledge of people on here such as YT2095 and read their posts with great respect and envy. So it is a perverse pleasure to see them struggle with the concept of c being the same to all observers regardless of their position or motion relative to the source of said light. Something I finally managed to get my head around and accept some years ago. No insults intended, it just makes me feel a little less thick when compared to the doubtless superior brains that post here. May you all continue to amaze and educate me for years to come.

When a stationery object is struck by a moving object, such as a golf ball hit by a golf club, does the stationery object instantly move when struck. Or does it have to accelerate from 0 mph to say, 32 mph. If so, there must have been a moment when it reached 16 mph, and before that 8 mph and 4 mph and so on. As you cannot keeping halving your speed forever, or can you, the question is (1) at what point does it stop being stationery and become moving and (2) what speed does it start off at? As I have no training in physics I can only come up with two possible answers, (1) 0 mph is somehow a speed with the same characteristics as any other speed, or (2) this sounds really weird but here goes, time does not flow but pulses. One pulse the object is stationery, and in the next pulse it is moving, meaning nothing exists between pulses in a time sense. Looking at it another way, if an object has to accelerate from 0 mph how can it ever start to move at all, if at any moment no matter how slow it's moving, it was moving at half that speed previously? I guess the same aplies in reverse to any object coming to a rest as well. Help, it's all too much.

Asmaa, the question was, what are you a doctor of? The reply "I'm in the field of physical therapy" could mean anything. It could mean you sell vibrators. Regards A. voidthequestion
