  2. Momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

    hence the net force is equal to the mass of the particle times its acceleration. [ 1 ] Example : A model airplane of mass 1 kg accelerates from rest to a velocity of 6 m/s due north in 2 s.

  3. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    If the mass does not change with time, then the derivative acts only upon the velocity, and so the force equals the product of the mass and the time derivative of the velocity, which is the acceleration: [21] = =.

  4. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    The average velocity is always less than or equal to the average speed of an object. ... Angular momentum in scalar form is the mass times the distance to the origin ...

  5. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    Trajectory of a particle with initial position vector r 0 and velocity v 0, subject to constant acceleration a, all three quantities in any direction, and the position r(t) and velocity v(t) after time t. The initial position, initial velocity, and acceleration vectors need not be collinear, and the equations of motion take an almost identical ...

  6. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    Mass–energy equivalence states that all objects having mass, or massive objects, have a corresponding intrinsic energy, even when they are stationary.In the rest frame of an object, where by definition it is motionless and so has no momentum, the mass and energy are equal or they differ only by a constant factor, the speed of light squared (c 2).

  7. Mass flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_rate

    Mass flow rate is defined by the limit [3] [4] ˙ = =, i.e., the flow of mass m through a surface per unit time t. The overdot on the m is Newton's notation for a time derivative . Since mass is a scalar quantity, the mass flow rate (the time derivative of mass) is also a scalar quantity.

  8. Energy–momentum relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy–momentum_relation

    Einstein Triangle. The energy–momentum relation is consistent with the familiar mass–energy relation in both its interpretations: E = mc 2 relates total energy E to the (total) relativistic mass m (alternatively denoted m rel or m tot), while E 0 = m 0 c 2 relates rest energy E 0 to (invariant) rest mass m 0.

  9. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    t 1 and t 2 are times when the impulse begins and ends, respectively, m is the mass of the object, v 2 is the final velocity of the object at the end of the time interval, and; v 1 is the initial velocity of the object when the time interval begins. Impulse has the same units and dimensions (MLT −1) as momentum.
