 Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While force is the name of the derivative of momentum with respect to time, the derivative of force with respect to time is sometimes called yank.
A prevailing misconception, furthered by physics teachers, is that force is a fundamental quantity in physics.
This superposition of forces, and the definition of inertial frames and inertial mass, are the empirical content of Newton's laws of motion.

 IGN: Star Wars Demolition Review
To yank myself up out of the pit of cynicism, though, I'd like to note that Star Wars: Demolition is actually a pretty good car combat game, with some strong level design elements and other aspects that take advantage of the Star Wars setting.
Praise aside, Star Wars Demolition still hasn't fallen all that far from the tree - in other words, anyone who's played Vigilante 8 will be able to say "this is Vigilante 8, innit?" about five seconds into a game of Demolition.
On the Death Star, you have to watch out for the giant main cannon; on Hoth, left-over defensive cannon pick you off if you're within range; the Yavin 4 level has a big goofy gold boulder that simultaneously turns you invincible and goes rolling down a hill to squash your opponents.

Force is not a fundamental quantity in physics, despite the tendency to introduce students to physics via this concept.
With many forces a potential energy field is associated.

 LARGE SIMPLE HOVERCRAFT
If the hovercraft moves too fast, yank the power plug to put on the "brakes." Use this only in emergencies, since the passengers will fly off when the hovercraft suddenly halts.
Finally I realized that people on internet didn't know about this cool device, so I wrote my own hovercraft article in 1997 (first one on the internet, as far as I know.) Here's a set of photocopied plans for "Human Hockey Puck," from 1990 from a college physics teacher.
To be safest, operate the hovercraft in a small classroom.

 Roy T. Fielding
I was born in September 1965, during the first week of classes of the year UCI was established, so you might say that the two of us grew up together (except for the three years I spent studying Physics and International Politics at Reed College).
I am part Maori, Kiwi, Yank, Irish, Scottish, British, and California beach bum.
On a more local note, I was named by the UCI Alumni Association as the Outstanding Graduate Student of 2000.
