The *total* force needed to lift the man off the couch to apex and then from apex to stationary on the couch again will be equal. The difference is in the total amount of time that force is applied. It's no different from a man climbing a 100' ladder or being shot out of a cannon to a height of 100'. Both take about the same amount of energy ( exactly the same in a vacuum), but I'd bet you'd rather climb. Damn that's stupid.... Loogy, in your humble opinion, who here is not stupid or an asshole or both. I know a whole lot of us are one or the other, in your opinion, but I'm wondering just who *is not*. -- John H "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
