  2. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    A centripetal force (from Latin centrum, "center" and petere, "to seek" [1]) is a force that makes a body follow a curved path.The direction of the centripetal force is always orthogonal to the motion of the body and towards the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_contraction

    Let = (,) be a graph (or directed graph) containing an edge = (,) with .Let be a function that maps every vertex in {,} to itself, and otherwise, maps it to a new vertex .The contraction of results in a new graph ′ = (′, ′), where ′ = ({,}) {}, ′ = {}, and for every , ′ = ′ is incident to an edge ′ ′ if and only if, the corresponding edge, is incident to in .

  4. Vector fields in cylindrical and spherical coordinates

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_fields_in...

    Vectors are defined in cylindrical coordinates by (ρ, φ, z), where ρ is the length of the vector projected onto the xy-plane, φ is the angle between the projection of the vector onto the xy-plane (i.e. ρ) and the positive x-axis (0 ≤ φ < 2π), z is the regular z-coordinate. (ρ, φ, z) is given in Cartesian coordinates by:

  5. Killing vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_vector_field

    The three fields are not point-wise orthogonal; indeed, they cannot be, as, at any given point, the tangent-plane is two-dimensional, while there are three vectors. Given any point on the sphere, there is some non-trivial linear combination of X , Y {\displaystyle X,Y} and Z {\displaystyle Z} that vanishes: these three vectors are an over ...

  6. Orthonormality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthonormality

    In the Cartesian plane, two vectors are said to be perpendicular if the angle between them is 90° (i.e. if they form a right angle). This definition can be formalized in Cartesian space by defining the dot product and specifying that two vectors in the plane are orthogonal if their dot product is zero.
