  2. Specific orbital energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_orbital_energy

    The specific orbital energy associated with this orbit is −29.6 MJ/kg: the potential energy is −59.2 MJ/kg, and the kinetic energy 29.6 MJ/kg. Compared with the potential energy at the surface, which is −62.6 MJ/kg., the extra potential energy is 3.4 MJ/kg, and the total extra energy is 33.0 MJ/kg.

  3. Characteristic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_energy

    Every object in a 2-body ballistic trajectory has a constant specific orbital energy equal to the sum of its specific kinetic and specific potential energy: = = =, where = is the standard gravitational parameter of the massive body with mass , and is the radial distance from its center. As an object in an escape trajectory moves outward, its ...

  4. Vis-viva equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vis-viva_equation

    the specific orbital energy, allowing an object orbiting a larger object to be classified as having not enough energy to remain in orbit, hence being "suborbital" (a ballistic missile, for example), having enough energy to be "orbital", but without the possibility to complete a full orbit anyway because it eventually collides with the other ...

  5. Hückel method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hückel_method

    The Hückel energy of the molecule is , where the sum is over all Hückel orbitals, is the occupancy of orbital i, set to be 2 for doubly-occupied orbitals, 1 for singly-occupied orbitals, and 0 for unoccupied orbitals, and is the energy of orbital i. Thus, the delocalization energy, conventionally a positive number, is defined as

  6. Two-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem

    In classical mechanics, the two-body problem is to calculate and predict the motion of two massive bodies that are orbiting each other in space. The problem assumes that the two bodies are point particles that interact only with one another; the only force affecting each object arises from the other one, and all other objects are ignored.

  7. Orbital eccentricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_eccentricity

    where E is the total orbital energy, L is the angular momentum, m rdc is the reduced mass, and the coefficient of the inverse-square law central force such as in the theory of gravity or electrostatics in classical physics: = (is negative for an attractive force, positive for a repulsive one; related to the Kepler problem)

  8. Elliptic orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_orbit

    For a given semi-major axis the specific orbital energy is independent of the eccentricity. Using the virial theorem to find: the time-average of the specific potential energy is equal to −2ε the time-average of r −1 is a −1; the time-average of the specific kinetic energy is equal to ε

  9. Hartree–Fock method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartree–Fock_method

    For an atomic orbital calculation, these are typically the orbitals for a hydrogen-like atom (an atom with only one electron, but the appropriate nuclear charge). For a molecular orbital or crystalline calculation, the initial approximate one-electron wave functions are typically a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO).
