[alfa] Force (re:Moose hits)



I wouldn't want anyone thinking I'm overly "retentive" but in case there's an
inexperienced someone out there in digest land madly doing calculations based
on the reference in V9 #937 to "Force equalling mass times velocity", it is
not accurate. It should actually be force = mass x acceleration. I'm sure it
was just a momentary slip of the "tongue" but the math of physics can be tough
enough when the correct formulas are used, let alone when the wrong ones are
introduced (not to mention the potential results). Believe me, I'm one of
those who struggled through those classes and was dumb enough not to recognize
my shortcoming until I'd also gone through a couple of years of engineering at
University.
