By expanding the equation of motion, Eq. (7.73), with Eq. (7.36) for the momentum show that the force is parallel to the acceleration only when the velocity is either parallel or perpendicular to the acceleration. Obtain expressions for the coefficients of the acceleration in these two cases. In the older literature, these coefficients were known as the longitudinal and transverse masses, respectively.
