...must first reduce both to a like unit. As matter is inert, a body once having an uniform motion would continue to move in the same direction, and with the same velocity, unless a second force were to act upon it, changing its direction alone, or its velocity alone, or... | |

...will send it in the first second as far as C ; if there were no other force to affect it, it would continue to move in the same direction and with the same velocity, and in another second it would have passed over a space CD equal to A. C ; so in the third second it... | |

...'A body,' says Mr. Kiddle, (p. 28) 'when acted on by a single force, moves in a straight line; and will continue to move in the same direction, and -with the same velocity, until acted upon by some other force.' Now this is not true. For if the 'single force,' which acts... | |

...it has lost all of its energy; if it meets no resistance, or is acted on by no other force, it must continue to move in the same direction, and with the same velocity forever. 45. Force not Affected by the State of Rest or Motion. — A force acting on a body will produce... | |
