Some consequences concerning holonomic systems described in terms of the inertial quasi-velocities (IQV) are discussed in this note. Introducing the IQV vector into Lagrange's formulation leads to first-order equations with the identity mass matrix of the system. The first-order differential equations give an interesting insight into dynamics and some important properties. The two examples that are provided use the dynamical equations in terms of IQV.
