  2. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    However, tangential speed, unlike rotational speed, depends on radial distance (the distance from the axis). For a platform rotating with a fixed rotational speed, the tangential speed in the centre is zero. Towards the edge of the platform the tangential speed increases proportional to the distance from the axis. [2] In equation form: , where ...

  3. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    Since the speed is changing, there is tangential acceleration in addition to normal acceleration. The net acceleration is directed towards the interior of the circle (but does not pass through its center). The net acceleration may be resolved into two components: tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration.

  4. Angular velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_velocity

    With orbital radius 42,000 km from the Earth's center, the satellite's tangential speed through space is thus v = 42,000 km × 0.26/h ≈ 11,000 km/h. The angular velocity is positive since the satellite travels prograde with the Earth's rotation (the same direction as the rotation of Earth).

  5. Speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

    Tangential speed (v) and angular speed (ω) on a spinning disc of radius r. Tangential speed is the speed of an object undergoing circular motion, i.e., moving along a circular path. [6] 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 ...

  6. Rotational frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_frequency

    Tangential speed (Latin letter v), rotational frequency , and radial distance, are related by the following equation: [5] = =.. An algebraic rearrangement of this equation allows us to solve for rotational frequency: = / = /.

  7. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    Schematically, speed at the workpiece surface can be thought of as the tangential speed at the tool-cutter interface, that is, how fast the material moves past the cutting edge of the tool, although "which surface to focus on" is a topic with several valid answers. In drilling and milling, the outside diameter of the tool is the widely agreed ...

  8. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  9. Orbital mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_mechanics

    A satellite orbiting Earth has a tangential velocity and an inward acceleration. ... The formula for an escape velocity is derived as ... is the speed of the orbiting ...
