Simple question here for thought..

Take a particle accelerator.
Place it in orbit.

What object will move faster for one
single pulse of on and off?


"Which has more mass?"

Remember, F=ma and your forces have to balance.

If the accelerator is 1 billion times the mass of the particle, it
will accelerate a 1 billionth the velocity.

No ***.
You are finally getting it now.
Now expand on such thoughts..
the last post you made said the difference in mass
would not make a difference.
So.
Think more now please.
The accelerator is now moving in a circle
at 1 billionth of the speed the particle moved
at right?

Would you need the particle to move at the same
speed (relative mass) in reverse to stop that?
Or would a less "relative mass" stop such as fast as
the higher relative mass started to turn it with?
Hint: the less relative mass would take longer to stop it.
