  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. Vis viva - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vis_viva

    The difference between these ideas was whether the quantity of motion was simply related to a body's resistance to a change in velocity (vis inertia) or whether a body's amount of force due to its motion (vis viva) was related to the square of its velocity. The theory was eventually absorbed into the modern theory of energy, though the term ...

  5. Four-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-force

    The four-force is defined as the rate of change in the four-momentum of a particle with respect to the particle's proper time.Hence,: =. For a particle of constant invariant mass >, the four-momentum is given by the relation =, where = (,) is the four-velocity.

  6. Theory of impetus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_impetus

    The theory of impetus [1] is an auxiliary or secondary theory of Aristotelian dynamics, put forth initially to explain projectile motion against gravity. It was introduced by John Philoponus in the 6th century, [2] [3] and elaborated by Nur ad-Din al-Bitruji at the end of the 12th century. [4]

  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. Force-field analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force-field_analysis

    In social science, force-field analysis provides a framework for looking at the factors ("forces") that influence a situation, originally social situations. It looks at forces that are either driving the movement toward a goal (helping forces) or blocking movement toward a goal (hindering forces).
