Sunamer.

Such level of misunderstanding of physics
.

i would be grateful if you would point out where i demonstrated this to you.

i have already explaned that i ( wrongly but innocently ) used the word thrust not to describe the thrust from an engine but to describe the effect of momentum in a glider or ski jumper on a ramp that will allow him to overcome gravity without lift for a period of time dependent on the amount of momentum acquired.

So i admit i used the word thrust ( and did so previously but it was ignored rather conveniently ) when i should of used another more appropriate word in this instance, i would like to see where else my Physics was so far off.
