u/MindSwipe Jan 26 '23

In German we call it "the midnight formula", and whenever a math teacher is asked why it's called that you get an explanation along the lines of

"Well you see, if someone were to break into your house at midnight and woke you up at knife's edge/ gunpoint and asks you for this formula you have to be able to say it without a seconds thought"

Or alternatively

"Well you see, if you're out on a night of drinking, and at midnight you had too much to drink and happen to come across me, you have to be able to tell me the formula without a second of thought"

Is this for finding x for equations like x^2 + px +q?

Cause we used it like that: x1,2= -p/2 +- sqrt[(p/2)^2 - q]

Okay, just searched for it before posting this comment and apparently it is. Feels like a weird way to write the equation but thats probably just because I learned it a different way. We call it pq-equation/formula instead of quadratic formula

How can you even be this confident? You're not a god. You're a human like the rest of us. There has never been a survey about this. We have 8 billion people on earth.

Like even if you want to somehow estimate; people have worked with Newton's second law in school. For Mass-Energy equivalence you either have to actually study the course in university or hear from it in different forms of media in which, still, is the case for Newton's second law as well.

You being this confident is irrational.

u/obnormal Jan 26 '23

No, F = ma is Newton's second law. Whereas "a" is considered constant acceleration and "g" is considered free fall acceleration. So F=mg is the formula of the force acting on a freely falling body under the conditions of the earth's gravity. So F=ma is a more general formula.

W is used for work not weight so it doesn't make sense and F=ma is more versatile because it shows that any acceleration can affect the force not just gravity

No it's not. It's only 10 times the mass if you're using units such that g=10. On Earth, using SI units, you get quite close, but to say that weight is 10 times the mass is still wrong. It's simply the force between two masses.
