Perhaps that was a bit harsh on my part to say. But Kawa, regardless of whether or not your claim of being a professional engineer is true (which, to be quite honest, I seriously doubt because you've shown me you lack a basic command of the most simple laws of mechanical physics), I've heard many complaints regarding how you act in accordance with some preconceived notion of superiority over others. Now, whether this is accurate or not, I don't know. I'm not around the site 24/7 to prove it. But based solely on our conversation, you've shown me that you lack the ability to admit it when you've been out-argued. Besides, even if you are some hot-shot engineer, you should keep in mind that in addition to being a Physics major, I've worked in internships in labs, I've worked as an assistant to professors, having set up several demonstrations and conducted several lab sessions with students consisting of various topics in Physics as a whole. I daresay I hold quite a little more understanding of Physics than an engineer would, as your field would involve you to understand only one subject in Physics, whereas I have studied it in its entirety.

Furthermore, keep in mind that "statics" means non-moving and that newtonian mechanics work in dynamical systems; considering we were speaking of acceleration, which is a derivative of velocity with respect to time.
