  2. Magnus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect

    The Magnus effect is named after Heinrich Gustav Magnus, the German physicist who investigated it. The force on a rotating cylinder is an example of Kutta–Joukowski lift, [2] named after Martin Kutta and Nikolay Zhukovsky (or Joukowski), mathematicians who contributed to the knowledge of how lift is generated in a fluid flow.

  3. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    Since the sum of all forces is the centripetal force, drawing centripetal force into a free body diagram is not necessary and usually not recommended. Using =, we can draw free body diagrams to list all the forces acting on an object and then set it equal to . Afterward, we can solve for whatever is unknown (this can be mass, velocity, radius ...

  4. Spin Hall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_Hall_effect

    The spin Hall effect is a transport phenomenon consisting of the appearance of spin accumulation on the lateral surfaces of a sample carrying electric current. The opposing surface boundaries will have spins of opposite sign.

  5. Reactive centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_centrifugal_force

    Unlike the inertial force known as centrifugal force, which exists only in the rotating frame of reference, the reactive force is a real Newtonian force that is observed in any reference frame. The two forces will only have the same magnitude in the special cases where circular motion arises and where the axis of rotation is the origin of the ...

  6. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    The rope example is an example involving a 'pull' force. The centripetal force can also be supplied as a 'push' force, such as in the case where the normal reaction of a wall supplies the centripetal force for a wall of death or a Rotor rider. Newton's idea of a centripetal force corresponds to what is nowadays referred to as a central force.

  7. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    In classical mechanics, centrifugal force is an outward force associated with rotation.Centrifugal force is one of several so-called pseudo-forces (also known as inertial forces), so named because, unlike real forces, they do not originate in interactions with other bodies situated in the environment of the particle upon which they act.

  9. Newton's theorem of revolving orbits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_theorem_of...

    According to this equation, the second force F 2 (r) is obtained by scaling the first force and changing its argument, as well as by adding inverse-square and inverse-cube central forces. For comparison, Newton's theorem of revolving orbits corresponds to the case a = 1 and b = 0 , so that r 1 = r 2 .
