Consider
for the force-driven mass:
- Since the mass
is constant, we can use momentum
in place of velocity (more fundamental, since momentum is conserved)
-
and
(or
) define the state of the mass
at time
- In the absence of external forces
, all future states are
predictable from the state at time
:
- External forces
drive the state to arbitrary
points in state space:
