  2. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    Solving applications dealing with non-uniform circular motion involves force analysis. With a uniform circular motion, the only force acting upon an object traveling in a circle is the centripetal force. In a non-uniform circular motion, there are additional forces acting on the object due to a non-zero tangential acceleration.

  3. Gyroradius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroradius

    It is often useful to give the gyrofrequency a sign with the definition = or express it in units of hertz with =. For electrons, this frequency can be reduced to , = (/).. In cgs-units the gyroradius = | | and the corresponding gyrofrequency = | | include a factor , that is the velocity of light, because the magnetic field is expressed in units [] = / /.

  4. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    A rotating frame of reference is a special case of a non-inertial reference frame that is rotating relative to an inertial reference frame.An everyday example of a rotating reference frame is the surface of the Earth.

  5. Rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation

    Rotation or rotational motion is the circular movement of an object around a central line, known as an axis of rotation. A plane figure can rotate in either a clockwise or counterclockwise sense around a perpendicular axis intersecting anywhere inside or outside the figure at a center of rotation .

  6. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

    In accordance with Newton's third law of motion, the body in curved motion exerts an equal and opposite force on the other body. This reactive force is exerted by the body in curved motion on the other body that provides the centripetal force and its direction is from that other body toward the body in curved motion. [40] [41] [42] [43]

  7. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    A classic example of a fictitious force in circular motion is the experiment of rotating spheres tied by a cord and spinning around their centre of mass. In this case, the identification of a rotating, non-inertial frame of reference can be based upon the vanishing of fictitious forces.

  8. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    These results agree with those above for nonuniform circular motion. See also the article on non-uniform circular motion. If this acceleration is multiplied by the particle mass, the leading term is the centripetal force and the negative of the second term related to angular acceleration is sometimes called the Euler force. [22]

  9. Circle-throw vibrating machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle-throw_vibrating_machine

    This is induced by the circular motion. The rotary acceleration has a loosening effect on the particles on the deck. Centrifugal forces spread particles across the screen. With the combination of the gravitational component, the efficiency of small particle passing through aperture is improved, and large size particles are carried forward ...
