And in physics likewise.

You may have to accept that not evey topic in mathematics can be explained at a hight school level.

Do you have actual evidence that removing the frequent use of by and on has worse results? I haven't suggested anything revolutionary...

That's a new concept for me. Isn't work always a dot product of Force and Displacement? In your post, you have quoted a very simple...

Which displacement? Perhaps you should read what I have written in this thread. And no. Generalized work includes other forms of energy...

Just because we survived some bad teachers, doesn't mean we have to propagate bad teaching.

Conflict between the conservation of matter and the rapid expansion of our universe

I'm sorry, but the fact that "matter is not conserved" is known for decades and is even taught at high-school level physics. I don't...

What does dividing both sides by a number represent physically? What does squaring both side represent physically?

You don't seem to be aware that throwing out established terminology will make it even worse. They will not get it even more. Physics is...

You seem to have a problem with using the words "on" and "by" when speaking of the work done by a force. As if the distinguishing...

So why use 'on or by'? The work is already determined by the sign you have chosen and that will determine the behaviour (acceleration /...

That is no reason to conflate them. Yes, from these two you can compute work. This has been explained to you so many times in previous...

The sign of work doesn't just depend on the reference frame, but also on whether the value represents work done by A on B, or by B on A...
