No, it isn't. Energy and force are two different concepts and use different units. Force is measured in Newtons (Kgm/s²) and energy is measured in Joules(Kgm²/s²).

Energy can be expressed as force multiplied by distance, and this does not make energy a force any more than distance is a velocity(Distance equals velocity multiplied by time).

You really need to put away the attempts at designing spacecraft until you gain a much better understanding of basic physics. You are trying to run before you've even learned to crawl.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
