Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Circumstances of a Moving Projectile: Prepared for the Use of Students in Military ScienceThe mass of a body is proportional to its weight. By some the terms mass and inertia are used interchangeably. The ancients called inertia a force, and sat Newton spoke of it. Now we are told that it is not a force at all, but a property. Whatever it may be, we can avoid the point and say that inertia is that by which all bodies resist any change in their state as regards rest or motion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
