  2. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    The tangential component is given by the angular acceleration , i.e., the rate of change = ˙ of the angular speed times the radius . That is, a t = r α . {\displaystyle a_{t}=r\alpha .} The sign of the tangential component of the acceleration is determined by the sign of the angular acceleration ( α {\displaystyle \alpha } ), and the tangent ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_flow

    The tangential acceleration only changes the speed V and is equal to DV/Dt, where big d's denote the material derivative. The centripetal acceleration always points towards the centre of curvature O and only changes the direction s of the forward displacement while the parcel moves on.

  5. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    The net acceleration is directed towards the interior of the circle (but does not pass through its center). The net acceleration may be resolved into two components: tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration. Unlike tangential acceleration, centripetal acceleration is present in both uniform and non-uniform circular motion.

  6. Curvilinear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_motion

    With cylindrical co-ordinates which are described as î and j, the motion is best described in polar form with components that resemble polar vectors.As with planar motion, the velocity is always tangential to the curve, but in this form acceleration consist of different intermediate components that can now run along the radius and its normal vector.

  7. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    Tangential speed and rotational speed are related: the greater the "RPMs", the larger the speed in metres per second. Tangential speed is directly proportional to rotational speed at any fixed distance from the axis of rotation. [1] However, tangential speed, unlike rotational speed, depends on radial distance (the distance from the axis).

  8. Blade element momentum theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Element_Momentum_Theory

    The speed seen by the rotor blade is dependent on three things: the axial velocity of the fluid, (); the tangential velocity of the fluid due to the acceleration round an airfoil, ′; and the rotor motion itself, . That is, the apparent fluid velocity is given as below:

  9. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    The formula for the acceleration A P can now be obtained as: = ˙ + + (), or = / + / +, where α is the angular acceleration vector obtained from the derivative of the angular velocity vector; / =, is the relative position vector (the position of P relative to the origin O of the moving frame M); and = ¨ is the acceleration of the origin of ...
