The external forces: These are indicated by labelled arrows. In a fully solved problem, a force arrow is capable of indicating the direction and the line of action [notes 1] the magnitude; the point of application; a reaction, as opposed to an applied force, if a hash is present through the stem of the arrow
direction: unitless impact parameter meter (m) differential (e.g. ) varied depending on context differential vector element of surface area A, with infinitesimally small magnitude and direction normal to surface S: square meter (m 2) differential element of volume V enclosed by surface S
The change of motion of an object is proportional to the force impressed; and is made in the direction of the straight line in which the force is impressed. [ 15 ] : 114 By "motion", Newton meant the quantity now called momentum , which depends upon the amount of matter contained in a body, the speed at which that body is moving, and the ...

and the cross-product is a pseudovector i.e. if r and p are reversed in direction (negative), L is not. In general I is an order-2 tensor, see above for its components. The dot · indicates tensor contraction. Force and Newton's 2nd law: Resultant force acts on a system at the center of mass, equal to the rate of change of momentum:
Maximum force of a molecular motor [8] 10 −11 10 −10 ~160 pN Force to break a typical noncovalent bond [8] 10 −9 nanonewton (nN) ~1.6 nN Force to break a typical covalent bond [8] 10 −8 ~82nN Force on an electron in a hydrogen atom [1] 10 −7 ~200nN Force between two 1 meter long conductors, 1 meter apart by an outdated definition of ...
The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them: [11] Diagram of two masses attracting one another = where F is the force between the masses; G is the Newtonian constant of gravitation (6.674 × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2);
Measure of the extent and direction an object rotates about a reference point kg⋅m 2 /s L 2 M T −1: conserved, bivector Angular velocity: ω: The angle incremented in a plane by a segment connecting an object and a reference point per unit time rad/s T −1: bivector Area: A: Extent of a surface m 2: L 2: extensive, bivector or scalar ...
