An interim thank you to all those who have so far responded to my original post.
I have in mind to do a couple of experiments in response to some of the points raised and will report on them as soon as I am able. Meanwhile, please keep on commenting.
For those who might be after the prize, and only Sean C has tried for it so far, I will permit the use of "vector" and "resultant", but they must be explained in a way that a twelve-year-old could easily follow.
