M=F/A So you are saying that if something is at rest it has zero mass too?

No, I am not saying anything of the sort. Those are your ideas. M=F/A, if A=0, M is undefined. Basic algebra dictates that there can not be a zero in the denominator.

LG - M=F/A So you are saying that if something is at rest it has zero mass too?

Jimmy - No, I am not saying anything of the sort. Those are your ideas. M=F/A, if A=0, M is undefined. Basic algebra dictates that there can not be a zero in the denominator.

I think you should be directing your comments to Metmom she is the one who is trying to divide by zero. Unless of course you are disagreeing with the equation F=MA then you can take that up with Newton. I will attempt to defend Newtons honor to the best of my ability though : )
