At lengths greater than their resting length (l0), they develop tension or force. This force is passive, since it exists whether or not the muscle is active.
Passive force, like active force, acts in a direction from the muscle's points of attachment toward its center.
ELASTICITY OR STIFFNESS
The figure (from Soderberg, 1986, p. 32) illustrates that muscles differ in their passive properties. Some are stiffer than others; they develop more force during a given amount of elongation. In Soderberg's figure, the stiffer the muscle, the steeper the slope of its passive stress-strain curve.The distinctive stiffness properties of any soft tissue are illustrated by its length-tension curve. The knee's anterior cruciate ligament has a distinct length-tension curve.VISCOSITY OR DAMPING PROPERTIESIn addition to displaying the property of elasticity, many tissues display viscosity, a resistance to flow. Viscous materials resist elongation more at higher rates of elongation. Highly viscous fluids are "thick" and flow more slowly than "thinner," less viscous fluids.The passive length-tension curve of a viscous material has a slope that changes, increasing as the velocity of elongation increases. The faster the rate of elongation, the stiffer the material's behavior.THREE SOURCES OF STIFFNESS IN MUSCLELast updated 2-25-08 Dave Thompson PT

Passive force refers to the force exerted by a muscle when it is stretched without any active contraction. This force is generated by the elastic properties of the muscle and its connective tissues. It is important for maintaining muscle integrity and providing support during movements.
The opposite of passive resistance is active resistance. This involves actively opposing or challenging a particular force or authority rather than passively accepting it.
Passive bloodstains are those created when blood drips, flows, or is projected onto a surface due to the force of gravity acting upon it. These stains often result from injuries such as cuts or bleeding.
Jumped can be either active or passive depending on the context: Active: John jumped out of the window. Passive: John was jumped by a mugger. In the first sentence John is the one doing the jumping, so the verb is active. In the second sentence, John is acted on by the mugger, so the verb is passive.
Active resistance involves taking direct action to oppose or obstruct a certain force or authority, often through physical or vocal means. Passive resistance, on the other hand, involves nonviolent tactics such as noncooperation or civil disobedience to resist without using physical force.
passive.In this sentence we are not told who is forcing you and be verb + past participle is the form of a passive verb.passive - You are forced to do work.active - They force you to do work. ( 'they' do the forcing)
basically, im not that sure

The concentration gradient is the driving force.
The concentration gradient is the driving force.

Active transport uses energy in the form of ATP. Active can force electrons against the electron gradient as in the electron transport chain. Passive transport does not use energy and an example of passive transpost is osmosis.
Active torques are due to either gravitational force or deformation in elastic bodies passive torques are those due to friction or due to shear and deformation in inelastic bodies
Depending on the jurisdiction - if you resist without the use of force, by simply not submitting, or by passive resistance it can be. In others if you resist with force (especially while armed) it is a felony.
orthogonal cutting is a 2D cutting having 2 forces i.e cutting force and feed force where as oblique cutting is a 3D cutting having additional force i.e radial or passive force.
Because active means a Acted upon force like some one running or something being pushed by say the wind. And as for the passive it is due to the fact gravity being an always constant and ever present force (leastwise on earth) that it as seen and a mindless force just being pulled down.
