...being active — exerted, or impressed upon a body, to change its state of motion. We also read that " This force consists in the action only ; and remains no longer in the body, when the action is over." Besides this, and apparently in order to further explain himself, Newton gives examples : " Impressed... | |

...Newton thought of forces as disembodied entities, acting on the affected body from outside. An impressed force "consists in the action only, and remains no longer in the body when the action is over." Moreover, "impressed forces are of different origins, as from percussion, from pressure, from centripetal... | |
