QUANTITY OF ACTION

Definition: QUANTITY OF ACTION

QUANTITY OF ACTION

1. (Physics), the product of the mass of a body by the space it runs through, and its velocity. Syn: Action , Act . Usage: In many cases action and act are synonymous; but some distinction is observable. Action involves the mode or process of acting, and is usually viewed as occupying some time in doing. Act has more reference to the effect, or the operation as complete. To poke the fire is an act, to reconcile friends who have quarreled is a praiseworthy action. --C. J. Smith.
