Re: [Phys-l] the first law of motion



JD:
b) If you talk about some "force to keep the car moving"
that is not OK. That's not physics. We cannot even begin
to quantify that.
I feel like there was a tacit assumption there that we need a force to keep the car moving _because we know that there's a resistive force present_. That's fine.
