The reason an eighteenth-century audience would have enjoyed those ' ' repulsive' ' goings-on is that for them the split between character and performer was self-evident and unbridgeable.
Chemists could determine the laws of affinities by comparing their forces with the repulsive force of caloric.
This movement is continuing as long as the repulsive velocity equals the attracting velocity.
While the repulsive potential prevents collisions, the attractive potential causes the robot to move towards the goal.
Maintenance of the relative equilibrium on the background of repulsive forces should inevitably lead to the final division into two sub-identical components.
Solutions of macromolecules are rarely ideal and, as explained below, attractive or repulsive interactions lead to distortions of the scattering pattern.
Besides the desired regions, repulsive regions can also be specified for obstacle avoidance purpose.
This case is particularly interesting because it always leads, for homogeneous turbulence, to purely radial repulsive forces.
