The kth moment of a list is the average value of the elements raised to the kth power; that is, if the list consists of the N elements x1, x2, … , xN, the kth moment of the list is

a very short time

in physics is the amount of force required for an event to occur, typically this must outweigh the forces acting against the object moving.

  A rotating effect.  See torque.

The tendency of a force to cause rotation about a point or axis.

A force attempting to produce motion around an axis.

The tendency of a force to cause a rotation about a point or axis which in turn produces bending stresses.

The measure of rotation about a reference object when a force is applied. When a reference point is used, the moment is the cross product of the amount of force and the perpendicular distance between [..]

Having a resultant force around a pivot, leaving a force that makes something want to turn.

The resultant of a system of forces causing rotation without translation. A moment can be expressed as a couple.

A point in time of significance to the Enterprise, sufficiently significant that the clock time at Row 6 of the Zachman Framework is recorded.

Short for bending moment. The bending force which acts on, for example, a beam, and is resisted by an equal internal resistance moment within the beam.

Moment is the tendency of a force to cause a rotation about a point or axis which in turn produces bending stresses.

A measure of force causing a turning effect due an offset distance between the line of action and reaction. This is used to assess problems of bending in beams, or overturning in structures such as retaining walls or dams. A moment is calculated by multiplying the force by the length of the "lever arm" perpendicular to the direction of th [..]
