  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 ...

  4. 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.

  5. Euler force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_force

    In classical mechanics, the Euler force is the fictitious tangential force [1] that appears when a non-uniformly rotating reference frame is used for analysis of motion and there is variation in the angular velocity of the reference frame's axes.

  6. 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).

  7. 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 ...

  8. Yaw (rotation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_(rotation)

    The yaw rate is directly related to the lateral acceleration of the vehicle turning at constant speed around a constant radius, by the relationship tangential speed*yaw velocity = lateral acceleration = tangential speed^2/radius of turn, in appropriate units. The sign convention can be established by rigorous attention to coordinate systems.

  9. Orbital mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_mechanics

    To escape the Solar System from a location at a distance from the Sun equal to the distance Sun–Earth, but not close to the Earth, requires around 42 km/s velocity, but there will be "partial credit" for the Earth's orbital velocity for spacecraft launched from Earth, if their further acceleration (due to the propulsion system) carries them ...
