Hi,

I'm reading a paper on foundations of QM where the expression below appeared

[itex] \frac{1}{2}m\left(\frac{d^2 \overrightarrow{r}^2}{dt^2}\right)=m\left(\frac{d^2 \overrightarrow{r}}{dt^2}\right).\overrightarrow{r}+m\left(\frac{d \overrightarrow{r}}{dt}\right)^2[/itex]

I cannot identify where it came from. Can you help me?

This is not sufficient for our forum. You must make proper citation to your source, as if you're citing it in a paper (i.e. author, journal, volume, pg number, year).

Yes, we may be just a public forum, but we require such level of citation whenever possible.

$$\begin{align}
\frac{1}{2} m \frac{d}{dt} \frac{d}{dt} \left( \mathbf{r} \cdot \mathbf{r} \right) &= \frac{1}{2} m \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{d \mathbf{r}}{dt} \cdot \mathbf{r} + \mathbf{r} \cdot \frac{d \mathbf{r}}{dt} \right)\\
&= m \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{d \mathbf{r}}{dt} \cdot \mathbf{r} \right)\\
&= m \frac{d^2 \mathbf{r}}{dt^2} \cdot \mathbf{r} +m \frac{d \mathbf{r}}{dt} \cdot \frac{d \mathbf{r}}{dt}
\end{align}$$
