  2. Spin canting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_canting

    This effect is ascribed to spin canting, a phenomenon through which spins are tilted by a small angle about their axis rather than being exactly co-parallel. Spin canting is due to two factors contrasting each other: isotropic exchange would align the spins exactly antiparallel, while antisymmetric exchange arising from relativistic effects ...

  3. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    Classical mechanics is the branch of physics used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects. [1] It is the most familiar of the theories of physics. The concepts it covers, such as mass, acceleration, and force, are commonly used and known. [2] The subject is based upon a three-dimensional Euclidean space with fixed axes, called a frame of ...

  4. Cant (road and rail) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cant_(road_and_rail)

    For the United States, with a standard maximum unbalanced superelevation of 75 mm (3 in), the formula is this: v m a x = E a + 3 0.00066 d {\displaystyle v_{max}={\sqrt {\frac {E_{a}+3}{0.00066d}}}} where E a {\displaystyle E_{a}} is the superelevation in inches, d {\displaystyle d} is the curvature of the track in degrees per 100 feet, and v m ...

  5. Cant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cant

    Cant (road/rail), an angle of a road or track; Cant (shooting), referring to a gun being tilted around the longitudinal axis, rather than being horizontally levelled; Cant (surname), a family name and persons with it; Canting, a tool used in making batik; Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear musician), an American performer

  6. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The physics convention. Spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ) as commonly used: (ISO 80000-2:2019): radial distance r (slant distance to origin), polar angle θ (angle with respect to positive polar axis), and azimuthal angle φ (angle of rotation from the initial meridian plane). This is the convention followed in this article.

  7. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    The curve () describes the deflection of the beam in the direction at some position (recall that the beam is modeled as a one-dimensional object). is a distributed load, in other words a force per unit length (analogous to pressure being a force per area); it may be a function of , , or other variables.

  8. Angular displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_displacement

    Figure 2: A rotation represented by an Euler axis and angle. In three dimensions, angular displacement is an entity with a direction and a magnitude. The direction specifies the axis of rotation, which always exists by virtue of the Euler's rotation theorem ; the magnitude specifies the rotation in radians about that axis (using the right-hand ...

  9. Angular acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_acceleration

    In physics, angular acceleration (symbol α, alpha) is the time rate of change of angular velocity.Following the two types of angular velocity, spin angular velocity and orbital angular velocity, the respective types of angular acceleration are: spin angular acceleration, involving a rigid body about an axis of rotation intersecting the body's centroid; and orbital angular acceleration ...
