where p is momentum, so if we combine the above two equations:
where is mass and v is velocity. If the mass isn't changing over time (i.e. it's constant), then:
which can also be written as:
where j is jerk.

“Any relation to the land, the habit of tilling it, or mining it, or even hunting on it, generates the feeling of patriotism. He who keeps shop on it, or he who merely uses it as a support to his desk and ledger, or to his manufactory, values it less.”
