I'm a physicist because I took the time to get a degree in physics, your Wikipedia cut and paste notwithstanding.
So you should be able to explain what was wrong with the physics I posted with little difficulty.
And, no, it wasn't cut-n-pasted from Wikipedia or anywhere else. I'll even repost what I wrote.
Consider for a moment Newton's second law, F=ma. Simple isn't it?
But it doesn't tell the whole story. It assumes that the mass cannot deform, and that there is no drag acting on it once it moves.
So, the real equation has to add those terms, and we get the familiar 2nd order ODE, F=ma+cv+kx where cv is the the drag term and kx represents the deformation of the mass under load. F=ma is simple, but F=ma+cv+kx is correct.
At least, more correct. F=ma+cv+kx assumes that the ma, cv, and kx terms are linear. But they really aren't. It turns out that mass is a function of velocity, and kx is only considered to be linear through a relatively limited range of x-values.
Removing the assumptions makes things more complicated.
