  2. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    However, angular speed must be in radians per unit of time, by the assumed direct relationship between linear speed and angular speed at the beginning of the derivation. If the rotational speed is measured in revolutions per unit of time, the linear speed and distance are increased proportionately by 2 π in the above derivation to give:

  3. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    Design standards for high-speed rail vary from 0.2 m/s 3 to 0.6 m/s 3. [4] Track transition curves limit the jerk when transitioning from a straight line to a curve, or vice versa. Recall that in constant-speed motion along an arc, acceleration is zero in the tangential direction and nonzero in the inward normal direction.

  4. Work (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics)

    For convenience, consider contact with the spring occurs at t = 0, then the integral of the product of the distance x and the x-velocity, xv x dt, over time t is ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ x 2. The work is the product of the distance times the spring force, which is also dependent on distance; hence the x 2 result.

  5. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    The amount of torque needed to cause any given angular acceleration (the rate of change in angular velocity) is proportional to the moment of inertia of the body. Moments of inertia may be expressed in units of kilogram metre squared (kg·m 2) in SI units and pound-foot-second squared (lbf·ft·s 2) in imperial or US units.

  6. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    Acceleration has the dimensions of velocity (L/T) divided by time, i.e. L T −2. The SI unit of acceleration is the metre per second squared (m s −2); or "metre per second per second", as the velocity in metres per second changes by the acceleration value, every second.

  8. Rotational energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_energy

    As the Earth has a sidereal rotation period of 23.93 hours, it has an angular velocity of 7.29 × 10 −5 rad·s −1. [2] The Earth has a moment of inertia, I = 8.04 × 10 37 kg·m 2. [3] Therefore, it has a rotational kinetic energy of 2.14 × 10 29 J. Part of the Earth's rotational energy can also be tapped using tidal power.

  9. Angular acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_acceleration

    Angular acceleration has physical dimensions of angle per time squared, measured in SI units of radians per second squared (rad ⋅ s −2). In two dimensions, angular acceleration is a pseudoscalar whose sign is taken to be positive if the angular speed increases counterclockwise or decreases clockwise, and is taken to be negative if the ...
