  2. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In classical mechanics, impulse (symbolized by J or Imp) is the change in momentum of an object. If the initial momentum of an object is p 1, and a subsequent momentum is p 2, the object has received an impulse J: =. Momentum is a vector quantity, so impulse is also a vector quantity.

  3. Limit-preserving function (order theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit-preserving_function...

    In many specialized areas of order theory, one restricts to classes of partially ordered sets that are complete with respect to certain limit constructions. For example, in lattice theory, one is interested in orders where all finite non-empty sets have both a least upper bound and a greatest lower bound.

  4. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    The impulse response can be computed to any desired degree of accuracy by choosing a suitable approximation for δ, and once it is known, it characterizes the system completely. See LTI system theory § Impulse response and convolution. The inverse Fourier transform of the tempered distribution f(ξ) = 1 is the delta function.

  5. Orbital maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_maneuver

    The Oberth effect is used in a powered flyby or Oberth maneuver where the application of an impulse, typically from the use of a rocket engine, close to a gravitational body (where the gravity potential is low, and the speed is high) can give much more change in kinetic energy and final speed (i.e. higher specific energy) than the same impulse ...

  9. Limit of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_of_a_function

    The definition of limit given here does not depend on how (or whether) f is defined at p. Bartle [9] refers to this as a deleted limit, because it excludes the value of f at p. The corresponding non-deleted limit does depend on the value of f at p, if p is in the domain of f. Let : be a real-valued function.
