Nov 26, 2020 at 22:22 | comment | added | Paul Razvan Berg | Question about your 3rd paragraph though .. can you really assume that moving weights around without changing their heights requires not work? If it did require work, would his explanation still be valid? I'm new to physics and this assumption-laden thinking takes me a while to get used to it. | |
