dynamical
Relating to forces
Dynamical is the adjective form of dynamics, describing systems characterized by forces, motion, or change over time.
It appears almost exclusively in technical contexts—physics, mathematics, and systems theory: dynamical systems, dynamical equations.
In most everyday contexts, dynamic serves the same purpose and sounds more natural.
