  2. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    Solving applications dealing with non-uniform circular motion involves force analysis. With a uniform circular motion, the only force acting upon an object traveling in a circle is the centripetal force. In a non-uniform circular motion, there are additional forces acting on the object due to a non-zero tangential acceleration.

  3. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    Tangential speed is the speed of an object undergoing circular motion, i.e., moving along a circular path. [1] A point on the outside edge of a merry-go-round or turntable travels a greater distance in one complete rotation than a point nearer the center. Travelling a greater distance in the same time means a greater speed, and so linear speed ...

  4. Gyroradius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroradius

    It is often useful to give the gyrofrequency a sign with the definition = or express it in units of hertz with =. For electrons, this frequency can be reduced to , = (/).. In cgs-units the gyroradius = | | and the corresponding gyrofrequency = | | include a factor , that is the velocity of light, because the magnetic field is expressed in units [] = / /.

  5. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    These results agree with those above for nonuniform circular motion. See also the article on non-uniform circular motion. If this acceleration is multiplied by the particle mass, the leading term is the centripetal force and the negative of the second term related to angular acceleration is sometimes called the Euler force. [22]

  6. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    A classic example of a fictitious force in circular motion is the experiment of rotating spheres tied by a cord and spinning around their centre of mass. In this case, the identification of a rotating, non-inertial frame of reference can be based upon the vanishing of fictitious forces.

  7. Udwadia–Kalaba formulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udwadia–Kalaba_formulation

    In classical mechanics, the Udwadia–Kalaba formulation is a method for deriving the equations of motion of a constrained mechanical system. [1] [2] The method was first described by Anatolii Fedorovich Vereshchagin [3] [4] for the particular case of robotic arms, and later generalized to all mechanical systems by Firdaus E. Udwadia and Robert E. Kalaba in 1992. [5]

  8. History of centrifugal and centripetal forces - Wikipedia

    Since the centrifugal force of the parts of the earth, arising from the earth's diurnal motion, which is to the force of gravity as 1 to 289, raises the waters under the equator to a height exceeding that under the poles by 85472 Paris feet, as above, in Prop. XIX., the force of the sun, which we have now shewed to be to the force of gravity as ...

  9. Instant centre of rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_centre_of_rotation

    Point A, at distance P 1-A from P 1, moves in a circular motion in a direction perpendicular to the link P 1-A, as indicated by vector V A. The same applies to link P 2-B: point P 2 is the instant center of rotation for this link and point B moves in the direction as indicated by vector V B.
