I'm pretty sure it means the motion or movement that is going to happen. So, if you apply force in a direction to a box, the impending motion will be sliding or tipping in the direction of force depending on certain coefficients of friction.

She could sense the feeling of impending doom settling down upon the courtyard as the army rode closer.
I don't think there is a synonym: forthcoming is not really a synonym as impending is generally only used of unpleasant or disastrous things about to happen.
In Last of the Mohicans, the raven cry was a Huron signal that meant impending danger and hunger.
I'm pretty sure it means the motion or movement that is going to happen. So, if you apply force in a direction to a box, the impending motion will be sliding or tipping in the direction of force depending on certain coefficients of friction.
Frictional force always acts opposite to the direction of motion or the impending motion of an object, parallel to the surface in contact.
Static friction points in the opposite direction of the impending motion or force applied to an object.
Static friction points in the opposite direction of the impending motion or force applied to an object.
Frictional force always acts in the opposite direction to the relative motion between two surfaces in contact. If there is no relative motion, the frictional force resists the impending motion between the surfaces.
Friction resists motion between two surfaces in contact with each other. It acts in the opposite direction to the motion or the impending motion and is caused by microscopic irregularities on the surfaces that interlock with each other.
The force you are referring to is called friction. Friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact with each other and resist the relative motion between them. It acts in the opposite direction to the direction of motion or impending motion.
An impending doom is about to come.
impending death is going to happen
Impending Doom was created in 2005.
The force that prevents things from slipping is static friction. It occurs when an object is resting on a surface and resists motion when an external force is applied to it. Static friction acts in the opposite direction of the impending motion, preventing slipping.
