I just got home from work, so by brain isnt working right at the moment.

Anyhow... Mass times eceleration equals force



Physics - Inertia

Newtons Second Law

A property of mass is its resistance to a change of velocity. This is quantified by Newtons second law which says that the acceleration is:

*Proportional to the net external force.
*Inversely proportional to its mass.
*In the direction of the force.

In other words

f =ma

*f =net force
*m=mass
*a =acceleration

There is also an equivalent for rotation.

T=Ia

*T=torque
*I=inertia Tensor
*a =angular acceleration.


In plain english...... A body in motion stays in motion, and a body at rest stays at rest.

Anyhow this body needs rest.
So g night all. Or I should say morning.
