  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. 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.

  4. Equant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equant

    The uniformity was generally assumed to be observed from the center of the deferent, and since that happens at only one point, only non-uniform motion is observed from any other point. Ptolemy displaced the observation point from the center of the deferent to the equant point. This can be seen as violating the axiom of uniform circular motion.

  6. 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 [] = / /.

  7. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    Tangential speed is the speed of an object undergoing circular motion, i.e., moving along a circular path. [1] 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 greater distance in the same time means a greater speed, and so linear speed ...

    Since the centrifugal force of the parts of the earth, arising from the earth's diurnal motion, which is to the force of gravity as 1 to 289, raises the waters under the equator to a height exceeding that under the poles by 85472 Paris feet, as above, in Prop. XIX., the force of the sun, which we have now shewed to be to the force of gravity as ...
