“Exactly equal to the force of the door sill pressing back?”

You forgot opposite. F(12) = -F(21) as in points 1 and 2

lol.

Religion is never wrong, it’s just created.

lol

do we have a “Settled Religion” ping list?

Mycroft is almost right.

It's not a trick, not a joke, and not a vector problem.

The formula F = MA is correct.

Irregardless of Mass ... given zero Acceleration the force is zero.

It might be interesting to try the question out on whiz kids you know.

The scientific method is the best method we have for finding out answers to our questions. You can still believe in God while admitting the scientific method is our best tool.

That sounds fishy to me. So if I’m bench pressing and I get stuck half way up, I’m not exerting force? I understand the math aspect, since zero times anything is zero. If my force is zero, what am I exerting?

Yes. And zero=zero. No ± sign, no sine...

The ion is actually very different from a helium atom. In the latter case, the atom is charge-neutral and all coulomb fields fall off much faster than r^-2. The ion, meanwhile, has a 20e positive charge which can induce charges in the surroundng walls of the equipment and thence modify the electron orbits.

It is possible that they have tried to compensate for this, but the compensation calculation could be a very difficult one to do accurately.

However, if no errors are found in the theory and the NIST experiment is correct, some physics outside of QED must be present.”
***Physicists have been resisting this notion for 23 years, trying their best to deny the data coming from other Condensed Matter Nuclear Science Experiments known as Cold Fusion.

Pressure.

You are exerting force. But it has become equal to the force of gravity.

ΣF=0

ΣM=0

(assuming static equilibrium)

Reminds me of a physics professor that opened the semester leaning heavily on a door sill and asking students to estimate the force of his pressing action?

Do you really mean sill? The sill is a raised segment at the floor. Or did you mean the door jamb (the vertical member of a door frame. The top horizontal member of the door frame is called the head. So was the prof leaning drunk or fall down on the floor drunk?

That’s not true. There’s still a force that you are exerting on the doorframe, it’s just not strong enough to overcome any counteracting forces, to create an acceleration in the doorframe. You’re still exerting a force though.

You have to take gravity into account. You are exerting upward force, which is exactly balanced by the downward force coming from gravity.
