  2. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    The path of this projectile launched from a height y 0 has a range d. In physics, a projectile launched with specific initial conditions will have a range. It may be more predictable assuming a flat Earth with a uniform gravity field, and no air resistance. The horizontal ranges of a projectile are equal for two complementary angles of ...

  3. Two-body problem in general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem_in...

    The equation of motion for the particle derived above = + + can be rewritten using the definition of the Schwarzschild radius r s as = [] + + (+) which is equivalent to a particle moving in a one-dimensional effective potential = + (+) The first two terms are well-known classical energies, the first being the attractive Newtonian gravitational ...

  4. 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.

  5. Range of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_motion

    Range of motion (or ROM) is the linear or angular distance that a moving object may normally travel while properly attached to another. In biomechanics and strength training , ROM refers to the angular distance and direction a joint can move between the flexed position and the extended position. [ 1 ]

  6. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    The solution of these equations of motion provides a description of the position, the motion and the acceleration of the individual components of the system, and overall the system itself, as a function of time. The formulation and solution of rigid body dynamics is an important tool in the computer simulation of mechanical systems.

  7. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

  8. Euler's equations (rigid body dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_equations_(rigid...

    In classical mechanics, Euler's rotation equations are a vectorial quasilinear first-order ordinary differential equation describing the rotation of a rigid body, using a rotating reference frame with angular velocity ω whose axes are fixed to the body. They are named in honour of Leonhard Euler. Their general vector form is

  9. Newton–Euler equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton–Euler_equations

    Traditionally the Newton–Euler equations is the grouping together of Euler's two laws of motion for a rigid body into a single equation with 6 components, using column vectors and matrices. These laws relate the motion of the center of gravity of a rigid body with the sum of forces and torques (or synonymously moments) acting on the rigid body.
