  2. Tennis racket theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_racket_theorem

    The magnitude of the angular momentum and the kinetic energy of a spinning object are both conserved. As a result, the angular velocity vector remains on the intersection of two ellipsoids. Here, the yellow ellipsoid is the angular momentum ellipsoid, and the expanding blue ellipsoid is the energy ellipsoid.

  3. Diving (sport) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_(sport)

    Consequently, divers must use some of the somersaulting angular momentum to generate twisting movements. The physics of twisting can be explained by looking at the components of the angular momentum vector. As the diver leaves the board, the total angular momentum vector is horizontal, pointing directly to the left for a forward dive for example.

  4. Poinsot's ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poinsot's_ellipsoid

    This motion has four constants: the kinetic energy of the body and the three components of the angular momentum, expressed with respect to an inertial laboratory frame. The angular velocity vector ω {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\omega }}} of the rigid rotor is not constant , but satisfies Euler's equations .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_mechanics

    Many toys are made with angular mechanics in mind. These toys include gyroscopes, tops, and yo-yos. When you spin a toy, you apply force to both sides [3] (Push and pull respectively). This makes the top spin. According to newtons third law of motion, [3] the top would continue to spin until a force is acted upon it. Because of all of the ...

  6. Golf swing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_swing

    Timing is the most critical element of the golf swing because it connects all of the different moving parts of the body into one motion. The golf swing follows a double pendulum model, where the arms and shoulders become the first pendulum and movements along the hands, grip, and shaft form the second. Both of these interlocking pendulum ...

  7. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    Figure 1: The angular velocity vector Ω points up for counterclockwise rotation and down for clockwise rotation, as specified by the right-hand rule. Angular position θ(t) changes with time at a rate ω(t) = dθ/dt. Rotational or angular kinematics is the description of the rotation of an object. [21]

  8. Biomechanics of sprint running - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomechanics_of_sprint_running

    The reason for this is that, unlike the forward-backward motion, both arms are synchronized in their upward-downward movement. As a result, there is no cancellation of forces. Efficient sprinters have an arm swing that originates from the shoulder and has a flexion and extension action that is of the same magnitude of the flexion and extension ...

  9. Angular velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_velocity

    The angular velocity of the particle at P with respect to the origin O is determined by the perpendicular component of the velocity vector v.. In the simplest case of circular motion at radius , with position given by the angular displacement () from the x-axis, the orbital angular velocity is the rate of change of angle with respect to time: =.
