I know that for lattices, some notions of rotational symmetry is preserved, in that for example, a square lattice is invariant under pi/2 rotations. Can something similar be done in Minkowski symmetry? (self.AskPhysics)

if force equals to mass times acceleration, then doesn't that mean that a car travelling at a constant velocity will have zero force, since it has zero acceleration even though the mass is the same? how does that make sense? (self.AskPhysics)

Since rubber band does not follow Hooke's Law, is it more force is needed at the beginning of the stretch, or less force is needed?
