  2. Behavioral momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_momentum

    According to behavioral momentum theory, the relation between response rate and resistance to change is analogous to the relation between velocity and mass of a moving object, according to Newton's second law of motion (Nevin, Mandell & Atak, 1983). Newton's second law states that the change in velocity of an object when a force is applied is ...

  3. Hill's muscle model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill's_muscle_model

    is the maximum velocity, when = Although Hill's equation looks very much like the van der Waals equation, the former has units of energy dissipation, while the latter has units of energy. Hill's equation demonstrates that the relationship between F and v is hyperbolic. Therefore, the higher the load applied to the muscle, the lower the ...

  4. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

  5. Muscle contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_contraction

    The optimal shortening velocity for power generation is approximately one-third of maximum shortening velocity. Forcevelocity relationship relates the speed at which a muscle changes its length (usually regulated by external forces, such as load or other muscles) to the amount of force that it generates. Force declines in a hyperbolic ...

  6. Relative velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_velocity

    The relative velocity of an object B relative to an observer A, denoted (also or ⁡), is the velocity vector of B measured in the rest frame of A. The relative speed v B ∣ A = ‖ v B ∣ A ‖ {\displaystyle v_{B\mid A}=\|\mathbf {v} _{B\mid A}\|} is the vector norm of the relative velocity.

  7. Relativistic mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_mechanics

    The relativistic four-velocity, that is the four-vector representing velocity in relativity, is defined as follows: = = (,) In the above, is the proper time of the path through spacetime, called the world-line, followed by the object velocity the above represents, and

  9. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_universal...

    The first two conflicts with observations above were explained by Einstein's theory of general relativity, in which gravitation is a manifestation of curved spacetime instead of being due to a force propagated between bodies. In Einstein's theory, energy and momentum distort spacetime in their vicinity, and other particles move in trajectories ...
