would you feel the acceleration in space? how would you measure your momentum since there's no gravity?
>>
>>7807686
So many things are wrong with this question, I can only assume you're trolling.
>>
> no gravity
if theres nothing pulling you, then you wouldn't have any momentum you dumb fucking frogposter
>>
>>7807693
>what is a reactor

>>7807690
I'm not. I also got the best grade in Physics 3 years ago but I dont remember anything.
I think I should start with "why you feel acceleration in a car?", and I think that's because of your momentum which is variated by the variation of speed of the car
>>
>>7807686
Gravity is just one force, it's not related to you being able to feel other forces.
>>
>>7807707
but you need your mass to calculate your momentum
>>
>>7807686
Are you asking if you would feel acceleration from an engine? Like a rocket?

If so, yes you would. You will feel any force that's a surface force.

>>7807722
mass =/= weight. You have mass whether there's gravity or not.

>mass =/= weight. You have mass whether there's gravity or not.
fuck that's right, I remember when as a kid they told you "gee on Mars you would weight 400 kg" but they were actually wrong, only the N would change

What is mass.

Define the property of mass, i.e. what is the difference between an object that has mass and one that is mass-less, like a photon?
>>
>>7807873
An object with mass is subject to the Higgs field. A massless object is not.
>>
>>7807916
Bzzt, wrong. Neutrinos have mass and are not affected by the Higgs mechanism under the Standard Model.
>>
>>7807873
A massless object will always travel at c in a vacuum.

A massive object will never travel at c in any reference frame.

Now anon that just sounds like quitter talk
