  2. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

    Rolling resistance, sometimes called rolling friction or rolling drag, is the force resisting the motion when a body (such as a ball, tire, or wheel) rolls on a surface. It is mainly caused by non-elastic effects; that is, not all the energy needed for deformation (or movement) of the wheel, roadbed, etc., is recovered when the pressure is removed.

  4. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    The roll motion is characterized by an absence of natural stability, there are no stability derivatives which generate moments in response to the inertial roll angle. A roll disturbance induces a roll rate which is only canceled by pilot or autopilot intervention. This takes place with insignificant changes in sideslip or yaw rate, so the ...

  5. Rolling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling

    The animation illustrates rolling motion of a wheel as a superposition of two motions: translation with respect to the surface, and rotation around its own axis.. Rolling is a type of motion that combines rotation (commonly, of an axially symmetric object) and translation of that object with respect to a surface (either one or the other moves), such that, if ideal conditions exist, the two are ...

  6. Skid (automobile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_(automobile)

    An automobile skid is an automobile handling condition where one or more tires are slipping relative to the road, and the overall handling of the vehicle has been affected. Subtypes of skid include: fishtailing, where the vehicle yaws back and forth across the direction of motion. spin or spinout where a vehicle rotates in one direction during ...

  7. Adhesion railway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion_railway

    Adhesion is caused by friction, with maximum tangential force produced by a driving wheel before slipping given by: F m a x = μ W , {\displaystyle F_{\mathrm {max} }=\mu W,} [ 2 ] where μ {\displaystyle \mu } is the coefficient of friction and W {\displaystyle W} is the weight on the wheel.

    In the clips above, Edwards hits 3s by running a pick-and-roll, slipping a screen, re-using a screen and pulling up in transition. He’s hunting at all times. And making them, too. Edwards has ...

  9. Cable railway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_railway

    The incline cable passed round the drum several times to ensure there was sufficient friction for the brake to slow the rotation of the drum – and therefore the wagons – without the cable slipping. [9] At the head of the incline various devices were employed to ensure that wagons did not start to descend before they were attached to the cable.
