"If H and F are constants of motion, how can I demonstrate, using the Jacobi identity, that the partial derivative of F with respect to time is also a constant of motion?"
Added by Jim F.
Step 1
Step 1: Start with the Jacobi identity, which states that for any three constants of motion A, B, and C, the following equation holds: [A, [B, C]] + [B, [C, A]] + [C, [A, B]] = 0 Show more…

Show that for a single particle with constant mass the equation of motion implies the following differential equation for the kinetic energy:$$\frac{d T}{d I}-F \cdot \mathbf{v}$$ while if the mass varies with time the corresponding equation is $$\frac{d(m T)}{d r}-\mathbf{F} \cdot \mathbf{p}$$.
