  2. Angular velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_velocity

    In physics, angular velocity (symbol ω or , the lowercase Greek letter omega), also known as angular frequency vector, [1] is a pseudovector representation of how the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time, i.e. how quickly an object rotates (spins or revolves) around an axis of rotation and how fast the axis itself changes direction.

  3. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    Intuitively, the velocity increases linearly, so the average velocity multiplied by time is the distance traveled while increasing the velocity from v 0 to v, as can be illustrated graphically by plotting velocity against time as a straight line graph. Algebraically, it follows from solving [1] for

  4. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    The graphs below show the angle domain equations for a constant rod length (6.0") and various values of half stroke (1.8", 2.0", 2.2"). Note in the graphs that L is rod length l {\displaystyle l} and R is half stroke. r {\displaystyle r} .

  5. Angular frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_frequency

    Angular frequency (or angular speed) is the magnitude of the pseudovector quantity angular velocity. [1] Angular frequency can be obtained multiplying rotational frequency, ν (or ordinary frequency, f) by a full turn (2 π radians): ω = 2 π rad⋅ν. It can also be formulated as ω = dθ/dt, the instantaneous rate of change of the angular ...

  6. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    A twist is a screw used to represent the velocity of a rigid body as an angular velocity around an axis and a linear velocity along this axis. All points in the body have the same component of the velocity along the axis, however the greater the distance from the axis the greater the velocity in the plane perpendicular to this axis.

  7. Archimedean spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_spiral

    If the xy plane rotates with a constant angular velocity ω about the z-axis, then the velocity of the point with respect to z-axis may be written as: The xy plane rotates to an angle ωt (anticlockwise) about the origin in time t. (c, 0) is the position of the object at t = 0. P is the position of the object at time t, at a distance of R = vt + c.

  8. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    Angular momentum is the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity: =, just as p = mv in linear dynamics. The analog of linear momentum in rotational motion is angular momentum. The greater the angular momentum of the spinning object such as a top, the greater its tendency to continue to spin.

  9. Frenet–Serret formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenet–Serret_formulas

    The first Frenet-Serret formula holds by the definition of the normal N and the curvature κ, and the third Frenet-Serret formula holds by the definition of the torsion τ. Thus what is needed is to show the second Frenet-Serret formula. Since T, N, B are orthogonal unit vectors with B = T × N, one also has T = N × B and N = B × T.
