      Over time, the damped harmonic oscillator’s motion will be reduced to a stop.

      The first condition of equilibrium is that the net force in all directions must be zero.

      Evaporation is the process of molecules on a liquid’s surface achieving sufficient energy to break free of the liquid and become gas.

      A point charge creates an electric field that can be calculated using Coulomb’s law.

      Net force affects the motion, postion and/or shape of objects (some important and commonly used forces are friction, drag and deformation).

A rotating body or system can be in equilibrium if its rate of rotation is constant and remains unchanged by the forces acting on it. To understand what factors affect rotation, let us think about what happens when you open an ordinary door by rotating it on its hinges.

      The first condition necessary to achieve equilibrium is the one already mentioned: the net external force on the system must be zero.

      During a phase transition, certain properties of the medium change, often discontinuously, as a result of some external condition.

      Diffusion is the movement of particles from regions of high concentration towards regions of lower concentration.

Muscles, for example, exert far greater forces than we might think. Figure shows a forearm holding a book and a schematic diagram of an analogous lever system. The schematic is a good approximation for the forearm, which looks more complicated than it is, and we can get some insight into the way typical muscle systems function by analyzing it.
