  2. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

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

    Unprimed quantities refer to position, velocity and acceleration in one frame F; primed quantities refer to position, velocity and acceleration in another frame F' moving at translational velocity V or angular velocity Ω relative to F. Conversely F moves at velocity (—V or —Ω) relative to F'. The situation is similar for relative ...

  3. List of equations in wave theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in_wave...

    The phase velocity varies with frequency. The phase velocity is the rate at which the phase of the wave propagates in space. The group velocity is the rate at which the wave envelope, i.e. the changes in amplitude, propagates. The wave envelope is the profile of the wave amplitudes; all transverse displacements are bound by the envelope profile.

  4. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  5. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    The transverse speed (or magnitude of the transverse velocity) is the magnitude of the cross product of the unit vector in the radial direction and the velocity vector. It is also the dot product of velocity and transverse direction, or the product of the angular speed ω {\displaystyle \omega } and the radius (the magnitude of the position).

  6. Proper motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_motion

    Barnard's Star's transverse speed is 90 km/s and its radial velocity is 111 km/s (perpendicular (at a right, 90° angle), which gives a true or "space" motion of 142 km/s. True or absolute motion is more difficult to measure than the proper motion, because the true transverse velocity involves the product of the proper motion times the distance.

  7. Transversality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversality_(mathematics)

    Transverse curves on the surface of a sphere Non-transverse curves on the surface of a sphere. Two submanifolds of a given finite-dimensional smooth manifold are said to intersect transversally if at every point of intersection, their separate tangent spaces at that point together generate the tangent space of the ambient manifold at that point. [1]

  8. Euler force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_force

    The Euler acceleration (named for Leonhard Euler), also known as azimuthal acceleration [2] or transverse acceleration, [3] is that part of the absolute acceleration that is caused by the variation in the angular velocity of the reference frame.

  9. Miller twist rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_twist_rule

    t = transverse moment of inertia; d = air density; v = velocity; Thus, Miller essentially took Greenhill's rule of thumb and expanded it slightly, while keeping the formula simple enough to be used by someone with basic math skills. To improve on Greenhill, Miller used mostly empirical data and basic geometry.
