2. Like some others, I am squarely in the camp of F(t) = ma(t), where
t is t. To me, any non-philosophical discussion of causality would
require consideration of integral formulations of F(t) ~ ma(t-t') or
a(t) ~ (1/m)F(t-t').
we
are again led to a similar painful discussion! To wit, does voltage
"cause" current or is it the movement of charge that "causes" a
potential difference to be created? I =want= to identify this with
the F(t) = ma(t) discussion but I'm not so sure it's as clear.
