statistical mechanics - Boltzmann equation for a collisionless medium?


In the derivation of the Boltzmann equation (link to Wikipedia) for a collisionless gas it is assumed that: f(r+pmΔt, p+FΔt, t+Δt)=f(r,p,t)


What is the reasoning for this expression.

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
