  2. Specific force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_force

    The acceleration of an object free falling towards the earth depends on the reference frame (it disappears in the free-fall frame, also called the inertial frame), but any g-force "acceleration" will be present in all frames. This specific force is zero for freely-falling objects, since gravity acting alone does not produce g-forces or specific ...

  3. Frame (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_(linear_algebra)

    An equal norm frame is a normalized frame (sometimes called a unit-norm frame) if =. [21] A unit-norm Parseval frame is an orthonormal basis; such a frame satisfies Parseval's identity . Equiangular frames

  4. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    In the rotating frame the centrifugal force is related to the distance of the object from the origin of frame B, while in the case of an orbiting frame, the centrifugal force is independent of the distance of the object from the origin of frame B, but instead depends upon the distance of the origin of frame B from its centre of rotation ...

  5. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    All non-inertial reference frames exhibit fictitious forces; rotating reference frames are characterized by three: [1] the centrifugal force, the Coriolis force, and, for non-uniformly rotating reference frames, the Euler force. Scientists in a rotating box can measure the rotation speed and axis of rotation by measuring these fictitious forces.

  6. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    The force and torque vectors that arise in applying Newton's laws to a rigid body can be assembled into a screw called a wrench. A force has a point of application and a line of action, therefore it defines the Plücker coordinates of a line in space and has zero pitch. A torque, on the other hand, is a pure moment that is not bound to a line ...

  7. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    The wind frame is a convenient frame to express the aerodynamic forces and moments acting on an aircraft. In particular, the net aerodynamic force can be divided into components along the wind frame axes, with the drag force in the −x w direction and the lift force in the −z w direction. Mnemonics to remember angle names

  8. Frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_of_reference

    Sometimes frames are distinguished by the scale of their observations, as in macroscopic and microscopic frames of reference. [2] In this article, the term observational frame of reference is used when emphasis is upon the state of motion rather than upon the coordinate choice or the character of the observations or observational apparatus. In ...

  9. Inertial frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference

    The presence of fictitious forces indicates the physical laws are not the simplest laws available, in terms of the special principle of relativity, a frame where fictitious forces are present is not an inertial frame: [49] The equations of motion in a non-inertial system differ from the equations in an inertial system by additional terms called ...
