 +Here, $\mathbf F (t)$ denotes the force that is acting on the particle at time $t$, irrespective of how it emerges. Specifically, the time dependence of $\mathbf F (t)$ accounts for changes of the position $\mathbf q(t)$, the velocity $\dot{\mathbf q}(t)$, and any additional time dependences due to external incluences (if applicable).
