  2. Turbulence kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence_kinetic_energy

    Physically, the turbulence kinetic energy is characterized by measured root-mean-square (RMS) velocity fluctuations. In the Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes equations, the turbulence kinetic energy can be calculated based on the closure method, i.e. a turbulence model.

  3. Inelastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inelastic_collision

    In such a collision, kinetic energy is lost by bonding the two bodies together. This bonding energy usually results in a maximum kinetic energy loss of the system. It is necessary to consider conservation of momentum: (Note: In the sliding block example above, momentum of the two body system is only conserved if the surface has zero friction.

  4. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    This equation states that the kinetic energy (E k) is equal to the integral of the dot product of the momentum (p) of a body and the infinitesimal change of the velocity (v) of the body. It is assumed that the body starts with no kinetic energy when it is at rest (motionless).

  5. Elastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision

    On average, two atoms rebound from each other with the same kinetic energy as before a collision. Five atoms are colored red so their paths of motion are easier to see. In physics , an elastic collision is an encounter ( collision ) between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same.

  6. Reduced mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_mass

    In a collision with a coefficient of restitution e, the change in kinetic energy can be written as = (), where v rel is the relative velocity of the bodies before collision. For typical applications in nuclear physics, where one particle's mass is much larger than the other the reduced mass can be approximated as the smaller mass of the system.

  7. Euler's equations (rigid body dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_equations_(rigid...

    The Euler equations can be generalized to any simple Lie algebra. [1] The original Euler equations come from fixing the Lie algebra to be s o ( 3 ) {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {so}}(3)} , with generators t 1 , t 2 , t 3 {\displaystyle {t_{1},t_{2},t_{3}}} satisfying the relation [ t a , t b ] = ϵ a b c t c {\displaystyle [t_{a},t_{b}]=\epsilon ...

  8. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    Classical mechanics utilises many equations—as well as other mathematical concepts—which relate various physical quantities to one another. These include differential equations, manifolds, Lie groups, and ergodic theory. [4] This article gives a summary of the most important of these.

  9. Braking distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_distance

    The theoretical braking distance can be found by determining the work required to dissipate the vehicle's kinetic energy. [10] The kinetic energy E is given by the formula: =, where m is the vehicle's mass and v is the speed at the start of braking. The work W done by braking is given by:
