Partial reformatting, though much of the post seems unclear.

To improve my question thanks to some answers.

| Aug 30, 2013 at 9:01 | comment | added | Shing | @udiboy, are you suggesting generality as a importance factor for constructing a equation? I am just self learning how to construct a theory, and I picked newton mechanics simply because it is the simplest physics theory that I know,,and sure the new equations don't apply well, whenever the Newton Mechanics doesn't. | |
| Aug 30, 2013 at 5:21 | comment | added | udiboy1209 | $F$ is more correctly defined as $\frac{dP}{dt}$ where $P$ is the momentum. You are assuming mass $m$ to be a contant, but do your equations work well for variable mass systems(when $m$ is not constant, eg. rocket engines)? What about forces on massless objects which have momentum, like light? | |
