High School Rethinking Newton's Equation: Re-writing F=MA with Reduced Mass
Is there an simplistic was that this can be generally stated? As I don't know calculus but could it be accurate to say there's another way to express this formula as previously stated? -

High School Rethinking Newton's Equation: Re-writing F=MA with Reduced Mass
HallsofIvy, Thanks so much for the response. To make sure I understand, what does d and t stand for, distance & time? Also m is mass and v, velocity? So hypothetically if a car was traveling 75MPH and the mass or inertial force was reduced couldn't we describe it much more crudely as the... -

High School Rethinking Newton's Equation: Re-writing F=MA with Reduced Mass
I am the president of the Physics club at my high school. One of our members came up with a very interesting hypothetical. He asked each of us to re-write the famous Newtonian equation for motion, F=MA(force equals mass times acceleration). Here's the question we are all trying to answer, if...
