  2. Spin canting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_canting

    This effect is ascribed to spin canting, a phenomenon through which spins are tilted by a small angle about their axis rather than being exactly co-parallel. Spin canting is due to two factors contrasting each other: isotropic exchange would align the spins exactly antiparallel, while antisymmetric exchange arising from relativistic effects ...

  3. Dutch angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_angle

    Person passed out on sidewalk – New York City, 2008 – shot using Dutch angle. In filmmaking and photography, the Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, vortex plane, or oblique angle, is a type of camera shot that involves setting the camera at an angle so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the ...

  4. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    Classical mechanics is the branch of physics used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects. [1] It is the most familiar of the theories of physics. The concepts it covers, such as mass, acceleration, and force, are commonly used and known. [2] The subject is based upon a three-dimensional Euclidean space with fixed axes, called a frame of ...

  5. Cant (road and rail) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cant_(road_and_rail)

    For the United States, with a standard maximum unbalanced superelevation of 75 mm (3 in), the formula is this: v m a x = E a + 3 0.00066 d {\displaystyle v_{max}={\sqrt {\frac {E_{a}+3}{0.00066d}}}} where E a {\displaystyle E_{a}} is the superelevation in inches, d {\displaystyle d} is the curvature of the track in degrees per 100 feet, and v m ...

  6. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The physics convention. Spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ) as commonly used: (ISO 80000-2:2019): radial distance r (slant distance to origin), polar angle θ (angle with respect to positive polar axis), and azimuthal angle φ (angle of rotation from the initial meridian plane). This is the convention followed in this article.

    Cant (road/rail), an angle of a road or track; Cant (shooting), referring to a gun being tilted around the longitudinal axis, rather than being horizontally levelled; Cant (surname), a family name and persons with it; Canting, a tool used in making batik; Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear musician), an American performer

  8. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    A branch of physics that studies atoms as isolated systems of electrons and an atomic nucleus. Compare nuclear physics. atomic structure atomic weight (A) The sum total of protons (or electrons) and neutrons within an atom. audio frequency A periodic vibration whose frequency is in the band audible to the average human, the human hearing range.

  9. Angular displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_displacement

    The angular displacement (symbol θ, ϑ, or φ) – also called angle of rotation, rotational displacement, or rotary displacement – of a physical body is the angle (in units of radians, degrees, turns, etc.) through which the body rotates (revolves or spins) around a centre or axis of rotation.
