This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Linear momentum is a physical quantity associated with spatial translations.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

Linear momentumEnergy–momentum four-vector

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Linear momentum supplies the spatial components of relativistic four-momentum.

How to interpret this relation type

The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.

Linear momentumForce

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

In Newtonian mechanics force is dp/dtd\mathbf p/dt; this definition does not make force fundamental in every formulation.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Newton’s second law is most generally written as a momentum-balance equation.

How to interpret this relation type

The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
