And should you ever think about FORWARD?

Please, Please pay attention to who started this post! You're not working with a sound individual here! He knew exactly what he was doing- creating chaos- the Clown trying to bring the building down! He's a forum terrorist Bagger, why aren't you responding to my repeated PM's to ban this Bucket! He's making me lose it - help!


In 2-C-0 Homer writes: "The Law of Inertia: Newton's First Law. There is no change in the motion of a body unless a resultant force is acting upon it."

Is that exactly correct?- "resultant force is acting upon it" meaning at least two divergent forces- or could it just be one force? Doesn't seem to be very precise to me- writing "resultant"

So- I'm not thread jacking- just asked the above question to send Bucket into a tizzy!

I've got a comment on 2-N-1 (7th edition)- and Forward being a resultant force vector.
If you read his statement out of context it appears to be completely incorrect- outward and downward does not produce forward- but he's working within the context of the geometry of the circle but even that's not very good- the real key is 1-L and the Hinges- with their attachment to a centered post, it is the force of that post that adds the forward motion from the merely downward and outward forces. Anotherwords without the centered post of the Machine in 1-L- it does just go down and out and not forward- if it is only pushed downward and outward.
