    Upper panel: Ball on a banked circular track moving with constant speed ; Lower panel: Forces on the ball.The resultant or net force on the ball found by vector addition of the normal force exerted by the road and vertical force due to gravity must equal the required force for centripetal acceleration dictated by the need to travel a circular path.

  4. Axes conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axes_conventions

    Basically, as lab frame or reference frame, there are two kinds of conventions for the frames: East, North, Up (ENU), used in geography; North, East, Down (NED), used specially in aerospace; This frame referenced w.r.t. Global Reference frames like Earth Center Earth Fixed (ECEF) non-inertial system.

  5. Davenport chained rotations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davenport_chained_rotations

    The X axis is now at angle α with respect to the x axis. The XYZ system rotates again about the x axis by β. The Z axis is now at angle β with respect to the z axis. The XYZ system rotates a third time about the z axis by γ. In sum, the three elemental rotations occur about z, x and z. Indeed, this sequence is often denoted z-x-z (or 3-1-3 ...

  6. Optical rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rotation

    Dextrorotation and laevorotation (also spelled levorotation) [1] [2] in chemistry and physics are the optical rotation of plane-polarized light.From the point of view of the observer, dextrorotation refers to clockwise or right-handed rotation, and laevorotation refers to counterclockwise or left-handed rotation.

  7. Weinberg angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weinberg_angle

    The weak mixing angle or Weinberg angle [2] is a parameter in the Weinberg–Salam theory (by Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam) of the electroweak interaction, part of the Standard Model of particle physics, and is usually denoted as θ W. It is the angle by which spontaneous symmetry breaking rotates the original W 0 and B 0

  8. Planar reentry equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_reentry_equations

    Another commonly encountered simplification is a lifting entry with a shallow, slowly-varying, flight path angle. [4] The velocity as a function of altitude can be derived from two assumptions: The flight path angle is shallow, meaning that: cos ⁡ γ ≈ 1 , sin ⁡ γ ≈ γ {\displaystyle \cos \gamma \approx 1,\sin \gamma \approx \gamma } .

  9. Directional statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_statistics

    Directional statistics (also circular statistics or spherical statistics) is the subdiscipline of statistics that deals with directions (unit vectors in Euclidean space, R n), axes (lines through the origin in R n) or rotations in R n.
