Meditations about the force

Show all headers | View raw

The force of the wind pushes me forward, then I run and the wind is 
gone, it disappears along with its force.

If I have the same speed, the wind no longer exercises (it can not 
exert) any force on me.

In the river its water pushes me (it exerts a force on me) but if I (at 
dead body) then drift over the water, I do not feel any more push, the 
force the river exerted on me has vanished.

Third example: if I use my force to push the car I can do it until it 
has a speed equal to or greater than mine, then I can no longer exert 
any force on it because it no longer opposes me.

At that point I could be the strongest man in the world but my force is 
no longer manifest, it does not exist.

Fourth example, Einstein's bleacher.

As long as it is fixed on the scaffold, the force of gravity is there 
but when the bleacher falls (and no longer opposes resistance) the 
"force" of gravity disappears.

From the previous examples, is it fair to say that force is manifested 
exclusively when there is a resistance that opposes and never when 
every form of resistance is lacking?
