Vis

Res A movetur usque ad punctum B. Vis gravitatis hanc motionem resistat (vide sagittam F); vis motionis (vide sagittam u) ergo maior esse debet quam vis gravitatis quae in re A agit.

Vis (-is f.) sensu latissimo res efficiendi potestas sive inclinatio vel virtus vel coercitio est. Quare habemus enuntiata sicut vis comica (ut dixit Caesar de Terentio), id quod significat genius comicus; similiter, vis poetica dicitur, quae genius poeticus dicitur.^[1] In physica autem Newtoniana, vis est axiomatica et magni momenti.
