  2. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    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. In the International System of Units, these are kg⋅m/s = N⋅s. In English engineering units, they are slug⋅ft/s = lbf⋅s. The term "impulse" is also used to refer to a fast-acting force or impact.

    Left: intrinsic "spin" angular momentum S is really orbital angular momentum of the object at every point, right: extrinsic orbital angular momentum L about an axis, top: the moment of inertia tensor I and angular velocity ω (L is not always parallel to ω) [6] bottom: momentum p and its radial position r from the axis.

  4. 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.

  5. Newton-second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton-second

    It is dimensionally equivalent to the momentum unit kilogram-metre per second (kg⋅m/s). One newton-second corresponds to a one-newton force applied for one second. = It can be used to identify the resultant velocity of a mass if a force accelerates the mass for a specific time interval.

    Accordingly, the change of the angular momentum is equal to the sum of the external moments. The variation of angular momentum ρ ⋅ Q ⋅ r ⋅ c u {\displaystyle \rho \cdot Q\cdot r\cdot c_{u}} at inlet and outlet, an external torque M {\displaystyle M} and friction moments due to shear stresses M τ {\displaystyle M_{\tau }} act on an ...

  8. Variable-mass system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-mass_system

    At time t, let a mass m travel at a velocity v, meaning the initial momentum of the system is p 1 = m v {\displaystyle \mathbf {p} _{\mathrm {1} }=m\mathbf {v} } Assuming u to be the velocity of the ablated mass d m with respect to the ground, at a time t + d t the momentum of the system becomes

  9. Tsiolkovsky rocket equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

    A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...
