  2. Two-body problem in general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem_in...

    The equation of motion for the particle derived above = + + can be rewritten using the definition of the Schwarzschild radius r s as = [] + + (+) which is equivalent to a particle moving in a one-dimensional effective potential = + (+) The first two terms are well-known classical energies, the first being the attractive Newtonian gravitational ...

  3. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  4. Generalized coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_coordinates

    A holonomic constraint is a constraint equation of the form for particle k [4] [a] (,) = which connects all the 3 spatial coordinates of that particle together, so they are not independent. The constraint may change with time, so time t will appear explicitly in the constraint equations.

  5. Deposition (aerosol physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(aerosol_physics)

    Deposition due to Brownian motion obeys both Fick's first and second laws. The resulting deposition flux is defined as J = n D π t {\textstyle J=n{\sqrt {\frac {D}{\pi t}}}} , where J is deposition flux, n is the initial number density , D is the diffusion constant and t is time.

  6. Position and momentum spaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_and_momentum_spaces

    (If the position vector of a point particle varies with time, it will trace out a path, the trajectory of a particle.) Momentum space is the set of all momentum vectors p a physical system can have; the momentum vector of a particle corresponds to its motion, with dimension of mass ⋅ length ⋅ time −1 .

  7. Mean squared displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_squared_displacement

    It is the most common measure of the spatial extent of random motion, and can be thought of as measuring the portion of the system "explored" by the random walker. In the realm of biophysics and environmental engineering , the Mean Squared Displacement is measured over time to determine if a particle is spreading slowly due to diffusion , or if ...

  8. Four-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-force

    The four-force is defined as the rate of change in the four-momentum of a particle with respect to the particle's proper time.Hence,: =. For a particle of constant invariant mass >, the four-momentum is given by the relation =, where = (,) is the four-velocity.

  9. Density of states - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_states

    The density of states related to volume V and N countable energy levels is defined as: = = (()). Because the smallest allowed change of momentum for a particle in a box of dimension and length is () = (/), the volume-related density of states for continuous energy levels is obtained in the limit as ():= (()), Here, is the spatial dimension of the considered system and the wave vector.
