In this first project log, I present the experimental verification of The NKTg Law on Varying Inertia using publicly available data from NASA.

Objective:

To test whether the NKTg Law accurately predicts the motion tendency of objects with varying mass in real-world conditions, starting with planetary motion in the Solar System.

Data Source:

NASA’s planetary data, including:

• Position (x) and velocity (v) of planets relative to the Sun.

• Mass variation rate (dm/dt) due to known astrophysical processes.

Methodology:

1. Calculate linear momentum (p) for each planet:

$$p=m\times v$$

1. Compute the two NKTg terms:

• NKTg₁ = x × p

• NKTg₂ = (dm/dt) × p

1. Analyze the signs and magnitudes of NKTg₁ and NKTg₂:

• NKTg₁ indicates the motion tendency relative to a stable state.

• NKTg₂ reflects whether varying mass supports or resists the motion.

Initial Results:

• For Earth, the computed NKTg₁ and NKTg₂ match the known stable orbital characteristics.

• The method was also applied to Mars, producing consistent results.

• Both cases confirmed that NKTg terms correctly predict the tendency of motion.

Key Insight:

The signs of NKTg₁ and NKTg₂ precisely aligned with physical observations:

• Positive NKTg₁ → Tendency to move outward.

• Negative NKTg₁ → Tendency to return inward.

• NKTg₂ values correctly represented the influence of mass variation on motion.

Next Steps:

• Extend experiments to other planets in the Solar System.

• Apply the law to artificial satellites and systems with significant mass changes.

Conclusion:

These experiments provide strong preliminary evidence that The NKTg Law offers a valid and predictive framework for analyzing systems with varying mass.

Full calculation details, source data, and diagrams will be shared in future updates.
