  2. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    When proper units are used for tangential speed v, rotational speed ω, and radial distance r, the direct proportion of v to both r and ω becomes the exact equation =. This comes from the following: the linear (tangential) velocity of an object in rotation is the rate at which it covers the circumference's length:

  3. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    Figure 1: Velocity v and acceleration a in uniform circular motion at angular rate ω; the speed is constant, but the velocity is always tangential to the orbit; the acceleration has constant magnitude, but always points toward the center of rotation.

  4. Speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

    Tangential speed (v) and angular speed (ω) on a spinning disc of radius r. Tangential speed is the speed of an object undergoing circular motion, i.e., moving along a circular path. [6] A point on the outside edge of a merry-go-round or turntable travels a greater distance in one complete rotation than a point nearer the center. Travelling a ...

  5. Proper motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_motion

    In this diagram the radial velocity happens to be one of the Sun and object parting, so is positive. Proper motion is the astrometric measure of the observed changes in the apparent places of stars or other celestial objects in the sky, as seen from the center of mass of the Solar System , compared to the abstract background of the more distant ...

  6. Blade element momentum theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Element_Momentum_Theory

    The speed seen by the rotor blade is dependent on three things: the axial velocity of the fluid, (); the tangential velocity of the fluid due to the acceleration round an airfoil, ′; and the rotor motion itself, . That is, the apparent fluid velocity is given as below:

  7. Magnus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect

    Tangential speed; Rotational frequency; ... where ω is the angular velocity of the cylinder (in rad/s) and r is the radius of the cylinder (in m). Inverse Magnus effect

  8. Velocity triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_triangle

    Velocity triangles may be drawn for both the inlet and outlet sections of any turbomachine. The vector nature of velocity is utilized in the triangles, and the most basic form of a velocity triangle consists of the tangential velocity, the absolute velocity and the relative velocity of the fluid making up three sides of the triangle.

  9. Oblique shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_shock

    Using the continuity equation and the fact that the tangential velocity component does not change across the shock, trigonometric relations eventually lead to the θ-β-M equation which shows θ as a function of M 1, β and ɣ, where ɣ is the Heat capacity ratio.
