This tag is for the classical concept of forces, i.e. the quantities causing an acceleration of a body. It expands to the strong/electroweak force only insofar as they act comparable to ‘classical’ forces. Use the [particle-physics] tag for decay channels due to forces and [newtonian-mechanics] or one of the other subtopics of [classical-mechanics] for the dynamics of classical systems.

Relation between velocity and position vector in a central force
I am aware that the dot product of the position and velocity vector, $(\vec{r}\cdot\vec{v})$, in circular motion under a central force, $F(r)=-\frac{k}{r^2}$, is equal to zero as the two vectors are a …
