What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

Ask Vin Diesel, it's what happened when he punched himself in the face.

Both their accelerations will be the same and equal to the acceleration due to gravity, g=9.81 m/s/s...This is coz the only force acting on them is the force due to gravity

Silly...  The point your instructor is making is that barring any impeding object (air) in the horizontal(to the ground) velocity vector will remain the same (First Law of Motion).  Of course his use of never is inappropriate.  Any thrown object will eventually fall, go into orbit, or escape earth's gravity and fly into space.  At which point the object might encounter another impeding object...\nI recommend that you suggest to your instructor that he reword the question. (Forget trying to get the point).  Explain to him that Newton's First Law states "An object at rest tends to stay in rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion in a straight line at constant speed unless acted upon by an outside force."...  Notice Newton himself refrains from the use of NEVER and uses the unless clause.  Explain to the instructor that you were using the UNLESS in the 1st Law.  That is to say he did not tell you to ignore gravity or any other impeding objects.  So, tell the instructor that you now understand what he was asking BUT s/he would be better off either taking out the NEVER (which Newton would not have used) with "until it hits the ground."\n\nAddition:\nGiven the Q as a true/false statement and understnading that the question is asking about Newton's First Law and knowing that even Newton says "nisi quatenus a viribus impressis cogitur statum illum mutare." which means "unless acted upon by an external and unbalanced force."  I would say FALSE! \n(The word "never" should not have been used).

The two would merge, theoretically.  But, keep this in mind.  In order for an object to be either immovable or irresistable, the masses would have to be infinite.  This is an impossible scenario, so we really can only theorize as to the results.  The result would be the opposite from what was described in the first answer.  Instead of energy  being turned into mass, I think you'd find that both the mass with irresistable force and the immovable mass would be both turned into energy, in the forms of sound, heat, light, etc.  Comprehend the results.  Infinite mass = infinite energy!!

It's not exactly a binding force like the strong.  I haven't run across any way it affects orbiting electrons.  See the reference for some info.  But it seems to me like a force without an identity.  Its range is extremely short.

Depends on how much force is transferred from who ever is striking it and the strength of who ever is striking it, i think.

I would say the strong nuclear force, that holds quarks together in protons and neutrons. This is the strongest if you add up all the individual forces in the universe, as it is present in every proton and neutron in every atom in the universe. If the strong force disappeared, the entire universe would instantly explode into fundamental particles.\n\nOn the other hand, on an everyday scale, the electromagnetic force is most noticeable (it is responsible for everyday forces between objects), and is stronger than gravity (by standing up the electromagnetic forces between atoms of your feet and the floor are overcoming the gravity of an entire planet.)

It's not specified that the object is unbreakable, so it would break. I doubt the pieces of the object would continue to be immovable, so bits of the immovable object would be flying everywhere. Serves it right for being so stubborn and not moving.\n\nIn the case of theft, the unstoppable force would either come back later with a bigger screwdriver, or steal the keys.

The total force on the block is mg sin (theta). The mg cos (theta) and force normal cancel out. Since there is no friction, the only force, again, is only mg sin (theta). \n\nThis is obvious if you consider that there is a force mg, and break it down into components, the solution should seem obvious.

The unstoppable force deflects to whatever side easiest for it to deflect to, but if you say they meet exactly head on they will merge. The unstoppable simply decays into it's anti-particle counterpart and passes through the unmovable without moving it.Neutrinos with no mass and no charge probably are the unstoppable forces in nature that we know of.Dark matter and dark energy excluded.

The two best answers to this paradox are basically one of logic and one of semantics, and they each say that the question doesn't make sense.\n\nThe answer using logic is that if such a thing as an irresistible force exists, then no object is immovable, and vice versa. It is logically impossible to have these two entities (a force that cannot be resisted and an object that cannot be moved by any force) in the same universe. \n\nThe answer using semantics is that if there is such a thing as an irresistible force, then the phrase immovable object is meaningless in that context, and vice versa, and the issue amounts to the same thing as asking, e.g., for a triangle that has four sides.

as the table is frictionless a constant force will take it to infinity...... it will never stop....

A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.\n\nThe formula is F=ma, where F= force, m=mass, a=acceleration

Basically the law you are talking about is the theory that an object in motion will stay in motion until another force acts upon it.\n\nMomentum is calculated by multiplying the mass by the velocity of the object.  There are many applications for these caclulations like if you wanted to find out what would happen in a head on collision between two objects.  You would be able to calculate in which direction the two objects would travel after the collision.\n\nAnyway, here is a website that I found for you that explains it completely.

There seems to be a missing varible of time. Without a time contraint there is an infinite number of times these balls will touch. I am not sure the minimum distance from the wall though. I guess it would have to be at least smaller than the size of the small ball so the two would actually collide.

The Universe is boundless, yet finite.  So you could never exit the Universe.
