Abstract

It is shown that Newton's second law is valid only as applied to a particle in which a collapsing field releases energy that goes into a mass increase. The third law applies to mechanics but requires that contact forces are conservative. The kinetic energy is increased at the expense of the internal energy. Analysis indicates that energies are not additive in quantum theory or in electromagnetic theory. Toroidal matter is introduced and a study of electron clusters is made. The decay energy of the cluster is shown to be in excess of the ballistic energy of formation. This fact is in accord with reported experimental results. The implication is that contraction energy is involved. No explanation of the sources of the added energy is attempted
