  2. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

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

    Unprimed quantities refer to position, velocity and acceleration in one frame F; primed quantities refer to position, velocity and acceleration in another frame F' moving at translational velocity V or angular velocity Ω relative to F. Conversely F moves at velocity (—V or —Ω) relative to F'. The situation is similar for relative ...

  3. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    A differential equation of motion, usually identified as some physical law (for example, F = ma), and applying definitions of physical quantities, is used to set up an equation to solve a kinematics problem. Solving the differential equation will lead to a general solution with arbitrary constants, the arbitrariness corresponding to a set of ...

  4. Torricelli's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_equation

    In physics, Torricelli's equation, or Torricelli's formula, is an equation created by Evangelista Torricelli to find the final velocity of a moving object with constant acceleration along an axis (for example, the x axis) without having a known time interval. The equation itself is: [1] = + where

    For rod length 6" and crank radius 2" (as shown in the example graph below), numerically solving the acceleration zero-crossings finds the velocity maxima/minima to be at crank angles of ±73.17530°. Then, using the triangle law of sines, it is found that the rod-vertical angle is 18.60639° and the crank-rod angle is 88.21832°. Clearly, in ...

    Multiplying by the operator [S], the formula for the velocity v P takes the form: = [] + ˙ = / +, where the vector ω is the angular velocity vector obtained from the components of the matrix [Ω]; the vector / =, is the position of P relative to the origin O of the moving frame M; and = ˙, is the velocity of the origin O.

  7. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    Velocity refers to a displacement in one direction with respect to an interval of time. It is defined as the rate of change of displacement over change in time. [7] Velocity is a vector quantity, representing a direction and a magnitude of movement. The magnitude of a velocity is called speed.

  8. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    The velocity is the time derivative of the displacement: = = ^ + ^. Because the radius of the circle is constant, the radial component of the velocity is zero. The unit vector u ^ R ( t ) {\displaystyle {\hat {\mathbf {u} }}_{R}(t)} has a time-invariant magnitude of unity, so as time varies its tip always lies on a circle of unit radius, with ...

  9. Radial velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_Velocity

    The radial velocity or line-of-sight velocity of a target with respect to an observer is the rate of change of the vector displacement between the two points. It is formulated as the vector projection of the target-observer relative velocity onto the relative direction or line-of-sight (LOS) connecting the two points.
