2. 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.

3. Euler's laws of motion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_laws_of_motion

   Euler's second law states that the rate of change of angular momentum L about a point that is fixed in an inertial reference frame (often the center of mass of the body), is equal to the sum of the external moments of force acting on that body M about that point: [1] [4] [5]

4. Momentum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

   For example, a 1 kg model airplane, traveling due north at 1 m/s in straight and level flight, has a momentum of 1 kg⋅m/s due north measured with reference to the ground. Many particles The momentum of a system of particles is the vector sum of their momenta.

5. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

   Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

6. Position and momentum spaces - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_and_momentum_spaces

   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. Mathematically, the duality between position and momentum is an example of Pontryagin duality .

7. Four-momentum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-momentum

   Given that in general for a closed system with generalized coordinates q i and canonical momenta p i, [3] = =, = =, it is immediate (recalling x 0 = ct, x 1 = x, x 2 = y, x 3 = z and x 0 = −x 0, x 1 = x 1, x 2 = x 2, x 3 = x 3 in the present metric convention) that = = (,) is a covariant four-vector with the three-vector part being the ...
