  2. Inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertia

    Inertia is the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes the velocity to change. It is one of the fundamental principles in classical physics, and described by Isaac Newton in his first law of motion (also known as The Principle of Inertia). [1]

  3. Lamb waves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_waves

    Lamb's theoretical formulations have found substantial practical application, especially in the field of non-destructive testing. The term Rayleigh–Lamb waves embraces the Rayleigh wave, a type of wave that propagates along a single surface. Both Rayleigh and Lamb waves are constrained by the elastic properties of the surface(s) that guide them.

  4. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    In this case, the moment of inertia of the mass in this system is a scalar known as the polar moment of inertia. The definition of the polar moment of inertia can be obtained by considering momentum, kinetic energy and Newton's laws for the planar movement of a rigid system of particles. [15] [18] [25] [26]

  5. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

    Sepe fidem falso mendicat inertia teste, Sepe dolet pietas criminis arte capi ("Often laziness begs faith in false witness, often justice is the captive of criminal deceit"). [3] Indeed, in the slightly later French version of Marie de France, it is the lamb that dies of cold. This had always been the intention of its carnivorous false accusers ...

  8. Stokes flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_flow

    The equation of motion for Stokes flow can be obtained by linearizing the steady state Navier–Stokes equations.The inertial forces are assumed to be negligible in comparison to the viscous forces, and eliminating the inertial terms of the momentum balance in the Navier–Stokes equations reduces it to the momentum balance in the Stokes equations: [1]

  9. Mach's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach's_principle

    As for the statement that "inertia originates in a kind of interaction between bodies", this, too, could be interpreted as true in the context of the effect. More fundamental to the problem, however, is the very existence of a fixed background, which Einstein describes as "the fixed stars".
