  2. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    The input power provided by the cyclist is equal to the product of angular speed (i.e. the number of pedal revolutions per minute times 2π) and the torque at the spindle of the bicycle's crankset. The bicycle's drivetrain transmits the input power to the road wheel , which in turn conveys the received power to the road as the output power of ...

  3. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    The jump in acceleration equals the force on the mass divided by the mass. That is, each time the mass passes through a minimum or maximum displacement, the mass experiences a discontinuous acceleration, and the jerk contains a Dirac delta until the mass stops.

  4. Work (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics)

    The work of this spring on a body moving along the space with the curve X(t) = (x(t), y(t), z(t)), is calculated using its velocity, v = (v x, v y, v z), to obtain = = =. For convenience, consider contact with the spring occurs at t = 0 , then the integral of the product of the distance x and the x-velocity, xv x dt , over time t is ⁠ 1 / 2 ...

  5. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    For a body moving in a circle of radius at a constant speed , its acceleration has a magnitude = and is directed toward the center of the circle. [ note 9 ] The force required to sustain this acceleration, called the centripetal force , is therefore also directed toward the center of the circle and has magnitude m v 2 / r {\displaystyle mv^{2}/r} .

  6. Angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum

    The gravitational torque between the Moon and the tidal bulge of Earth causes the Moon to be constantly promoted to a slightly higher orbit (~3.8 cm per year) and Earth to be decelerated (by −25.858 ± 0.003″/cy²) in its rotation (the length of the day increases by ~1.7 ms per century, +2.3 ms from tidal effect and −0.6 ms from post ...

  7. Pitching moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitching_moment

    The aerodynamic center of an airfoil is usually close to 25% of the chord behind the leading edge of the airfoil. When making tests on a model airfoil, such as in a wind-tunnel, if the force sensor is not aligned with the quarter-chord of the airfoil, but offset by a distance x, the pitching moment about the quarter-chord point, / is given by

  8. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    The SI unit of acceleration is the metre per second squared (m s −2); or "metre per second per second", as the velocity in metres per second changes by the acceleration value, every second. Other forms

  9. Tsiolkovsky rocket equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

    A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...
