How do YOU define use of force ?
535158
From a law enforcement perspective use of force is using any means necessary to bring a volatile situation to a more manageable and/or resolved state.  This means using both lethal and non-lethal types of force.  Lethal tending to be an excessive amount of force, as well as severe man handling during arrest that seems unnecessary.  Non-lethal uses of force, including Pepper Spray, Bean Bag guns, Tazers, etc can sometimes be considered excessive, however since they are non-lethal they can be seen as reasonable use of force.  These are uses of force in regards to law enforcement.\n\nFrom any other perspective, use of force, is using force to get what you want, to move something, open something, etc.

As in plane geometry vrs solid. The force is acting in a particular plane or vector.

Use of force must contain 2 elements.  Reasonable and Necessary.  Reasonable meaning would a reasonable officer do the same thing in a similar situation, and Necessary meaning was the level of force i.e. come along holds, oc spray necessary to put an end to the situation.

Basically you have the right idea. Use momentum (mass x velocity) for the motion and the sudden change in speed and/or direction (acceleration) and you get force x time = kinetic energy trying to rip you apart or squash you like a bug.

In what domain? \nWith what force?\nWith what resistances?

In the Marine Corps, there is a standard in place which has been deemed the "escalation of force."  It is simply a guideline that a Marine must follow in the line of duty.  Essentially, it starts with a verbal command for the individual to cease whatever activity they are doing and submit to authority.  If this does not work, the baton is used in an area that is non-lethal on the individuals body.  If the individual(s) still does not submit to authority or commands, they could be killed.

It derives from one of Newton's Laws. In the simplest terms - when you exert force on an object, that object will move in a direction and distance exactly equal and opposite to the force you applied. But, the saying as we use it goes beyond this physical explanation. I think it refers to the fact that all your actions have consequences and that therefore you should consider things carefully before you act. Things we do affect other people and those effects can change the world.

Depends on how much force is transferred from who ever is striking it and the strength of who ever is striking it, i think.

The phrase means to stop the engagement.  Almost exclusively used in mock, not real, combat.  Either the learning objective has been reached or an unsafe situation will rear its' ugly head if the "attack" is continued.

We shall apply logic and find answer.\n\nForce is a push or pull.\nWhen A pushes or pulls B, in Physics, we say A exerts a force on B\nWhen A exerts a force on B, three things may happen. 1. B is accelerated.  2. B is moving with constant velocity. 3. B is in rest.\n\nB is accelerated if no other forces except the one exerted by A acts on B. The other two happens when some other forces also act or not even a single force acts. \n \nWe shall consider the first case in which B is acted on by a force exerted by A.\n\nThere are three things which cannot be ignored when we speak of a force.\n1. “A” the one which exerts a force\n2. ‘The Force’ that acts on B.\n3. “B” the one on which the force acts. When the concept of force is understood “B” can a point.\n\n  The statement, “The force acts on B” implies that A is the cause of the force. \n\nHow can A apply a force? Physics answers, ‘Because it has energy to do so,’\n\nWhat happens to A and B when it exerts a force on B\nWhen there are no other forces except the one exerted by A on B, A looses energy and B gains energy.\n\nAs long as A exerts force on B, B is in motion (accelerated) by the force  \nIn Physics we say when a force acts, the one on which the force acts gains energy and the one that exerts the force looses energy and it is seen the gain and loss are equal.\n\n In cases 2 and 3, if we remove the extra forces acting on them the situation reduces to case 1 and the principle persists.

The power to use force \n\nWhenever they are carrying out their "ordinary" function of preserving the peace, the RUC are not entitled to use force. They must act with restraint, resisting pressure rather than applying 'it. Even when controlling crowds or patrolling a procession or parade they must not apply force in an active manner. If they do so, they can be sued for assault. \n\nHowever, if the police are preventing crime or effecting a lawful arrest, they can use "such force as is reasonable in the circumstances" (s.3(1) of Criminal Law Act (NI) 1967). The burden of proving that the force used was reasonable lies on the police. For example, in Wasson v Chief Constable of the RUC (1987), since the RUC could not prove that their version of how Mr Wasson came to be injured by a plastic bullet was more likely to be true than Mr Wasson's version, they were held liable to pay compensation. But it seems that, even in the absence of any proof that the police knew that the person they fired at was committing an offence (such as driving a stolen car), a judge may still regard the use of real bullets as reasonable force whenever someone drives through a vehicle checkpoint. In Magill v Ministry of Defence (1988) it was held that a soldier's act in firing at a 15-year-old driver was reasonable use of force in the prevention of crime. A police officer would probably enjoy a similar immunity in such circumstances, though much would depend on the particular features of each case. \n\nIn relation to police powers expressly conferred by the PACE (NI) Order 1989, article 88 says that the police "may use reasonable force, if necessary, in the exercise of the power". The term "reasonable" suggests that the force used must be in proportion to the gain the police hope to achieve through exercising the power. The term "necessary" implies that other means of exercising the power must be attempted first. This would seem to impose a stricter test than that contained in the 1967 Act, but as yet no court has ruled on how the two provisions inter-relate.

Generally, the force is applied at the point of "input force" - that point is determined by what class of lever you're using.\n\nFor example, if you're using scissors (First class lever), the fulcrum is at the pivot between the two handles and blades, the input force is at the handle, and the output force is on the blade.\n\nIf you're using, say, a wheelbarrow (2nd class lever), the fulcrum is at the wheel, the input is on the handle (end), and the output force is in the middle - in the bucket.\n\nFor a baseball bat (third class levers), the input force is in the middle (your hands), fulcrum at one end (you), and the output force is at the other end (the end of the bat).

Newtons are the SI unit of force.\n\nForce may also be measured in joules per centimeter, pounds force, atomic units of force, and several other units.

Do you mean military weapons, or weapons in the hands of citizens?\n\nLet's start with the military weapons.  This is our defense.  As the person above me said, "A good offense is a strong defense".  This means that by using a "show of force" (we are strong), we can repel invaders and protect our borders and citizens.\n\nWeapons for the citizens.  This was written into the US Constitution in an effort to prevent a tyrannical government from taking over.  Remember, we had just fought a war with England, and we did not want to allow that to happen again.  So, they wrote the Constitution, and incorporated the "Right to keep and bear arms".  This allows our citizens to bear arms in case of a repeat in government, or we are invaded.\n\nI hope this answers your question.
