    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_(physics)

    The moment of force, or torque, is a first moment: =, or, more generally, .; Similarly, angular momentum is the 1st moment of momentum: =.Momentum itself is not a moment.; The electric dipole moment is also a 1st moment: = for two opposite point charges or () for a distributed charge with charge density ().

    A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. The SI unit used to measure force is the newton. force carrier Force field (physics) frame of reference Fraunhofer lines free body diagram frequency frequency modulation free fall Any motion of a body where its own weight is the only force acting upon it. freezing point

  5. Momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

    hence the net force is equal to the mass of the particle times its acceleration. [1] Example: A model airplane of mass 1 kg accelerates from rest to a velocity of 6 m/s due north in 2 s. The net force required to produce this acceleration is 3 newtons due north. The change in momentum is 6 kg⋅m/s due north.

    The moment of inertia, otherwise known as the mass moment of inertia, angular mass, second moment of mass, or most accurately, rotational inertia, of a rigid body is a quantity that determines the torque needed for a desired angular acceleration about a rotational axis, akin to how mass determines the force needed for a desired acceleration. It ...

  7. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    In physics and mechanics, torque is the rotational analogue of linear force. [1] It is also referred to as the moment of force (also abbreviated to moment). The symbol for torque is typically , the lowercase Greek letter tau. When being referred to as moment of force, it is commonly denoted by M.

  8. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    The moment of inertia depends on how mass is distributed around an axis of rotation, and will vary depending on the chosen axis. For a point-like mass, the moment of inertia about some axis is given by , where is the distance of the point from the axis, and is the mass. For an extended rigid body, the moment of inertia is just the sum of all ...
