2. Tsiolkovsky rocket equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

   A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...

3. Delta-v - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-v

   Delta-v (also known as "change in velocity"), symbolized as and pronounced /dɛltə viː/, as used in spacecraft flight dynamics, is a measure of the impulse per unit of spacecraft mass that is needed to perform a maneuver such as launching from or landing on a planet or moon, or an in-space orbital maneuver.

4. Trajectory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory

   To find the angle giving the maximum height for a given speed calculate the derivative of the maximum height = ⁡ / with respect to , that is = ⁡ ⁡ / which is zero when = / =. So the maximum height H m a x = v 2 2 g {\displaystyle H_{\mathrm {max} }={v^{2} \over 2g}} is obtained when the projectile is fired straight up.

5. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

   This is due to the nature of right triangles. Additionally, from the equation for the range : = ⁡ We can see that the range will be maximum when the value of ⁡ is the highest (i.e. when it is equal to 1).

6. Terminal velocity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

   Terminal velocity is the maximum speed attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid (air is the most common example). It is reached when the sum of the drag force ( F d ) and the buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity ( F G ) acting on the object.

7. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

   The area required to calculate the volumetric flow rate is real or imaginary, flat or curved, either as a cross-sectional area or a surface. The vector area is a combination of the magnitude of the area through which the volume passes through, A, and a unit vector normal to the area, ^.

8. Max q - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_q

   Chart of dynamic pressure during the Mercury-Redstone 4 mission. Max q occurs 90 seconds after launch, at 600 lb/sq ft (290 hPa).. The max q, or maximum dynamic pressure, condition is the point when an aerospace vehicle's atmospheric flight reaches the maximum difference between the fluid dynamics total pressure and the ambient static pressure.

9. Hyperbolic trajectory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_trajectory

   The height of the kinetic energy decreases as the speed decreases and distance increases according to Kepler's laws. The part of the kinetic energy that remains above zero total energy is that associated with the hyperbolic excess velocity.
