  2. Settling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settling_time

    Tay, Mareels and Moore (1998) defined settling time as "the time required for the response curve to reach and stay within a range of certain percentage (usually 5% or 2%) of the final value." [ 2 ] Mathematical detail

  3. Stokes' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes'_law

    ρ p is the mass density of the sphere [kg/m 3] ρ f is the mass density of the fluid [kg/m 3] g is the gravitational acceleration [m/s 2] Requiring the force balance F d = F e and solving for the velocity v gives the terminal velocity v s.

  4. List of relativistic equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_relativistic_equations

    To derive the equations of special relativity, one must start with two other The laws of physics are invariant under transformations between inertial frames. In other words, the laws of physics will be the same whether you are testing them in a frame 'at rest', or a frame moving with a constant velocity relative to the 'rest' frame.

  5. Stokes number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_number

    = where is the relaxation time of the particle (the time constant in the exponential decay of the particle velocity due to drag), is the fluid velocity of the flow well away from the obstacle, and is the characteristic dimension of the obstacle (typically its diameter) or a characteristic length scale in the flow (like boundary layer thickness ...

  6. Relativistic rocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_rocket

    At 30% c, the difference between relativistic mass and rest mass is only about 5%, while at 50% it is 15%, (at 0.75c the difference is over 50%); so above such speeds special relativity is needed to accurately describe motion, while below this range Newtonian physics and the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation usually give sufficient accuracy.

  7. Time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_constant

    First order LTI systems are characterized by the differential equation + = where τ represents the exponential decay constant and V is a function of time t = (). The right-hand side is the forcing function f(t) describing an external driving function of time, which can be regarded as the system input, to which V(t) is the response, or system output.

  8. Lorentz factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_factor

    The Lorentz factor or Lorentz term (also known as the gamma factor [1]) is a dimensionless quantity expressing how much the measurements of time, length, and other physical properties change for an object while it moves. The expression appears in several equations in special relativity, and it arises in derivations of the Lorentz transformations.

  9. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    If its temperature is allowed to change by 1 °C, its mass changes by 1.5 picograms (1 pg = 1 × 10 −12 g). [note 5] A spinning ball has greater mass than when it is not spinning. Its increase of mass is exactly the equivalent of the mass of energy of rotation, which is itself the sum of the kinetic energies of all the moving parts of the ball.
