For a clarification of my "solipsism" I invite you to read:

"MET" refers to my re-naming of the "center of mass work-energy theorem",
and states:
The line integral of the net external force on a system calculated over
the
space trajectory of the system CM yields a scalar quantity (with sign)
which is numerically equal to the change in the quantity .5 M V^2,
calculated at the beginning and end of the trajectory (M is the total
mass of the system and V is the speed of the CM).
See the archives of Phys-L circa Nov. '97 for a lengthy discussion around
this theorem.

Welcome aboard, Merlin!  May we know something of your background,
interests, etc?
