|    Is force transmitted?    |

      From: fortunati.luigi@gmail.com              In the animation of Newton's pendulum       https://www.geogebra.org/classic/pwvqwpme       there is the first sphere that hits point A of sphere 2, on which it       exerts its action F1.              Does this red force F1 stop at point A or does it continue undisturbed       through the bodies of spheres 2, 3 and 4, up to point B of sphere 5,       where it arrives with almost unchanged intensity, as seen in the       animation?              Luigi Fortunati                     [[Mod. note -- Forces never "stop" at a point. The actual mechanics       are a bit more complicated -- see        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_cradle       for a nice discussion.       -- jt]]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
