<<I think a much more logical approach is to talk
first about constant velocity motion, then introduce the idea of
momentum, followed by force, which leads to Newton's laws and then
acceleration becomes a natural concept, which helps to give substance
to Newton's laws. <<
Now how do you do this when most books don't have this sequence and material introduced in another chapter reappears?
