    Outside Guantanamo riot squad training Indoors Guantanamo riot squad training. An initial reaction force (IRF), also known as an internal reaction force, or extreme reaction force (ERF) to inmates, is a type of small-scale riot squad in U.S. military prisons such as the Camp Delta detention center of Guantanamo Bay.

    The apparent outward force that draws a rotating body away from the centre of rotation. It is caused by the inertia of the body as the body's path is continually redirected. centripetal force A force which keeps a body moving with a uniform speed along a circular path and is directed along the radius towards the centre. cGh physics

  5. Activation energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_energy

    The activation energy (E a) of a reaction is measured in kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol) or kilocalories per mole (kcal/mol). [2] Activation energy can be thought of as the magnitude of the potential barrier (sometimes called the energy barrier) separating minima of the potential energy surface pertaining to the initial and final thermodynamic ...

    This support force is an 'equal and opposite' force; we know this not because of Newton's third law, but because the object remains at rest, so that the forces must be balanced. To this support force there is also a 'reaction': the object pulls down on the supporting cable, or pushes down on the supporting surface or liquid.

    Extraction point: the location designated for reassembly of forces and their subsequent transportation out of the battle zone. Fabian strategy: avoiding pitched battles in order to wear down the enemy in a war of attrition. Fighting withdrawal: pulling back military forces while maintaining contact with the enemy. File: a single column of soldiers.

    By 1980, the United States formed the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force (RDJTF) as a rapid reaction force under the U.S. Readiness Command. Composed of contingently assigned units from the United States Army, United States Air Force, United States Navy, and United States Marine Corps, its mandate was to rapidly deploy to confront worldwide threats to American interests.

  9. Center of pressure (terrestrial locomotion) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_pressure...

    In biomechanics, center of pressure (CoP) is the term given to the point of application of the ground reaction force vector. The ground reaction force vector represents the sum of all forces acting between a physical object and its supporting surface. Analysis of the center of pressure is common in studies on human postural control and gait.
