Chemics: Notation Defines Nature

[Paul Wharton]

It was my education back in the AP Mechanics class I took, that every concept (i.e., Momentum, Force, Energy, Power) must be marked with the proper notation among the multipliers of: Mass [kg], Distance Change [m], Time Change [sec]. Thus:

Momentum = (kg)(m) / (sec)
Force = (kg)(m) / (sec)(sec)
Energy = (kg)(m)(m) / (sec)(sec)
Power = (kg)(m)(m) / (sec)(sec)(sec)

However, I am uncertain whether or not scientists explicitly recognize that the opposite (inductive) approach denotes that the notation of a concept defines what the concept is in the other direction, as well--and as an absolute.

The following are some examples:

(kg)(m)(m) / (sec)(sec) = Energy
Work = Energy
(kg)(m)(m) / (sec)(sec) = Work

(kg)(m) / (sec) = Momentum
Inertia = Momentum
(kg)(m) / (sec) = Inertia

(kg)(m) / (sec)(sec) = Force
Gravity = Force = Pull
(kg)(m) / (sec)(sec) = Gravity
(kg)(m) / (sec)(sec) = Pull
