  2. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    Under translational motion, the change in the position of a rigid body is specified completely by three coordinates such as x, y, and z giving the displacement of any point, such as the center of mass, fixed to the rigid body. Purely rotational motion occurs if every particle in the body moves in a circle about a single line. This line is ...

  3. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    A car is moving in high speed during a championship, with respect to the ground the position is changing according to time hence the car is in relative motion . In physics, motion is when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point in a given time.

  4. Aristotelian physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotelian_physics

    Aristotelian physics is the form of natural philosophy described in the works of the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BC). In his work Physics, Aristotle intended to establish general principles of change that govern all natural bodies, both living and inanimate, celestial and terrestrial – including all motion (change with respect to place), quantitative change (change with respect to ...

  5. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    The equations of motion describe the movement of the center of mass of a body, which remains at a constant distance from the axis of rotation. In circular motion, the distance between the body and a fixed point on its surface remains the same, i.e., the body is assumed rigid.

  6. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    One moves faster if the rate of rotation increases (a larger value for ω), and one also moves faster if movement farther from the axis occurs (a larger value for r). Move twice as far from the rotational axis at the centre and you move twice as fast. Move out three times as far, and you have three times as much tangential speed.

  7. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    A less accessible but rather efficient method is the introduction of a radioactive isotope into the reaction and monitoring how it changes over time and where it moves to; this method is often used to analyze the redistribution of substances in the human body. Faster reactions are usually studied with ultrafast laser spectroscopy where ...

    During zone 2, your body uses fat as its primary source of fuel, though this does not equate to losing fat from your body, says Rachelle Reed, PhD, an exercise scientist in Athens, GA.

  9. Reaction (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Another common mistake is to state that "the centrifugal force that an object experiences is the reaction to the centripetal force on that object." [ 9 ] [ 10 ] If an object were simultaneously subject to both a centripetal force and an equal and opposite centrifugal force , the resultant force would vanish and the object could not experience a ...
