Much sniping above How can 2 applications of the same force for the same time result in different changes to energy. That is my problem. As to lifting the arcology. It only has an OR of 3 or 4. Any competent magician will be able to lift it. Edward |

The same force, different applications.
Let's assume The Force is/has a force of 1md/t^2. When it accelerates Object A, with mass 1m, to a velocity of 1d/t, it does 0.5md^2/t^2 of work -- The Force is applied on Object A for a distance of 0.5d -- increasing Object A's kinetic energy from 0md^2/t^2 to 0.5md^2/t^2. When it accelerates Object A from 1d/t to 2d/t, it does 1.5md^2/t^2 of work, applying 1md/t^2 of force on Object A for a distance of 1.5d, increasing the kinetic energy of Object A from 0.5md^2/t^2 to 2md^2/t^2. And, again, it would be better to resolve these issues of yours with a physics teacher than someone who almost flunked high school physics on an RPG forum. |

Two applications of the same amount of force to objects with different masses will result in a matching change in momentum, not energy. Energy's relation to mass is geometric, but it's relation to velocity is exponential (as I laid out about 3 posts ago). If you don't buy this, I suggest taking some physics courses or looking it up online. Wikipedia has a decent article on this.
