  4. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    Then, the velocity of object A relative to object B is defined as the difference of the two velocity vectors: = Similarly, the relative velocity of object B moving with velocity w, relative to object A moving with velocity v is: = Usually, the inertial frame chosen is that in which the latter of the two mentioned objects is in rest.

    2.1 Two-dimensional collision with two moving objects. ... That is, the relative velocity of one particle with respect to the other is reversed by the collision.

  6. Angular velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_velocity

    In physics, angular velocity (symbol ω or , the lowercase Greek letter omega), also known as angular frequency vector, [1] is a pseudovector representation of how the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time, i.e. how quickly an object rotates (spins or revolves) around an axis of rotation and how fast the axis itself changes direction.

  7. 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]

  8. Two-dimensional flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_flow

    In order to satisfy the continuity equation, the streamlines get bunched closer and the velocity increases as we get closer to the source. As with source flow, the velocity at all points equidistant from the sink is equal. Fig 3 – Streamlines and potential lines for sink flow. The velocity of the flow around the sink can be given by –

  9. Vorticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorticity

    The relative vorticity is the vorticity relative to the Earth induced by the air velocity field. This air velocity field is often modeled as a two-dimensional flow parallel to the ground, so that the relative vorticity vector is generally scalar rotation quantity perpendicular to the ground.
