    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optokinetic_response

    It consists of a rapid, resetting saccade in the opposite direction of the slow nystagmus (i.e., opposite to the stimulus motion).

    This makes a vehicle stable at high speed but requires larger steering inputs near the limits of adhesion, especially on low-grip surfaces.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_stick

    A pointing stick can be used by pushing with the fingers in the general direction the user wants the pointer to move.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_force

    For example, if two forces are acting upon an object in opposite directions, and one force is greater than the other, the forces can be replaced with a single force that is the difference of the greater and smaller force. That force is the net force. [1] When forces act upon an object, they change its acceleration.
