ACTION

Japanese: ACTION

…It was launched in March 1961 and was officially approved by Congress in September of the same year. When it was launched, it was under the jurisdiction of the Department of State, but since July 1971 it has been under the control of ACTION, a federal agency, along with other service organizations. Members are dispatched at the request of the host country and are mainly involved in education, agricultural technology, public health, and regional development. …

From [Action]

…Generally, when a force is acting between two objects, the effect that force exerts on one object, or the resulting change, is called an action. In a broad sense, the word action is used to mean the result of a force acting between objects, between the components of matter or waves, and in physical phenomena, chemical reactions, and even psychological and social phenomena. In order to quantify an action as a physical phenomenon, for example, the force must be specifically expressed as a function of the distance between the objects, and it must be quantitatively shown in the law of motion (equation of motion) of the object that is moved by that force. …

From [Amount of Effect]

...When a physical quantity has the dimensions of energy × time or momentum × coordinate (length), this physical quantity is said to have the dimensions of action, and such a quantity is called an action quantity in a broad sense. In classical mechanics or analytical mechanics, the action quantity is a basic quantity that has an important meaning both historically and in the construction of theory. When the orbit of a mechanical system with one degree of freedom describes a closed curve in the orthogonal coordinate space (called a phase space, in this case a plane, i.e. a phase plane) of the generalized coordinate q and the corresponding canonical momentum p , the area inside this closed curve (called a closed orbit) is a typical action quantity. ...

[Wrestling terminology]
Here are some main wrestling terms from the FILA international rules. ActionWhen a favored athlete with the potential for technical development becomes passive without consciously developing that potential, the referee will call out "action" to encourage aggressiveness. AttentionWarningThe referee will give a verbal warning to an athlete who is in danger of being disqualified.

【作用】より

…一般に二つの物体の間に力が働いているとき，その力によって一方が他方に及ぼす影響，またはそれによって生ずる変動のことを作用という。広義には物体に限らず物質や波動の構成成分間，また物理現象のみならず化学反応現象に関しても，さらには心理現象や社会現象においても相互の間に働く力の結果という意味で作用という言葉が用いられる。物理現象としての作用が定量化されるためには，例えば物体間の距離の関数として力が具体的に表され，その力によって動かされる物体の運動法則(運動方程式)の中においてそれが定量的に示されることが必要となる。…

【作用量】より

…ある物理量がエネルギー×時間，または運動量×座標(長さ)の次元をもつとき，この物理量は作用の次元をもつといい，そのような量を広い意味で作用量と呼ぶ。古典力学，または解析力学においては，作用量は歴史的にみても，また理論の構成のうえからも重要な意味をもつ基本量である。　一自由度の力学系の軌道が，一般化座標qとそれに対する正準運動量pの直交座標空間(相空間といい，今の場合平面，すなわち相平面)において，一つの閉曲線を描くとき，この閉曲線(閉軌道と呼ぶ)内部の面積は一つの典型的な作用量である。…
