Action principle, Lagrangian mechanics, Hamiltonian mechanics, and conservation laws when assuming Aristotelian mechanics $F=mv$


Define a physical system when Aristotelian mechanics $F=mv$ instead of Newtonian mechanics $F=ma$.


Then we could have action $I=\int L(q,t)dx$ rather than $\int L(q',q,t)dx$.




  • Is there an action principle?




  • Will the formula $I=\int p d q$ still hold?





  • What will be the Hamiltonian and conservation laws look like in this case?
