  2. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    Particle kinematics is the study of the trajectory of particles. The position of a particle is defined as the coordinate vector from the origin of a coordinate frame ...

  3. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  4. Relativistic mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_mechanics

    of a point-like particle are combined into a four-dimensional bivector in terms of the 4-position X and the 4-momentum P of the particle: [8] [9] = where ∧ denotes the exterior product. This tensor is additive: the total angular momentum of a system is the sum of the angular momentum tensors for each constituent of the system.

  5. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    The kinematics of a rigid body yields the formula for the acceleration of the particle P i in terms of the position R and acceleration a of the reference particle as well as the angular velocity vector ω and angular acceleration vector α of the rigid system of particles as, = + (()) +.

  6. Branches of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branches_of_physics

    There are many branches of classical mechanics, such as: statics, dynamics, kinematics, continuum mechanics (which includes fluid mechanics), statistical mechanics, etc. Mechanics: A branch of physics in which we study the object and properties of an object in form of a motion under the action of the force.

  7. Particle decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_decay

    In particle physics, particle decay is the spontaneous process of one unstable subatomic particle transforming into multiple other particles. The particles created in this process (the final state ) must each be less massive than the original, although the total mass of the system must be conserved.

  8. Category:Kinematics (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Kinematics...

    Kinematics in particle physics, also particle kinematics, deals with the Kinematics of particles in scattering reactions or decays. It is based on the rules of special relativity . Pages in category "Kinematics (particle physics)"

  9. Kinetics (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetics_(physics)

    In physics and engineering, kinetics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion and its causes, specifically, forces and torques.
