  2. Angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum

    The trivial case of the angular momentum of a body in an orbit is given by = where is the mass of the orbiting object, is the orbit's frequency and is the orbit's radius.. The angular momentum of a uniform rigid sphere rotating around its axis, instead, is given by = where is the sphere's mass, is the frequency of rotation and is the sphere's radius.

  3. Angular mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_mechanics

    In physics, angular mechanics is a field of mechanics which studies rotational movement. It studies things such as angular momentum , angular velocity , and torque . It also studies more advanced things such as Coriolis force [ 1 ] and Angular aerodynamics .

  4. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

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

    Angular momenta of a classical object. Left: intrinsic "spin" angular momentum S is really orbital angular momentum of the object at every point, right: extrinsic orbital angular momentum L about an axis, top: the moment of inertia tensor I and angular velocity ω (L is not always parallel to ω) [6] bottom: momentum p and its radial position r ...

  5. Euler's Disk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_Disk

    The angular momentum is = ^ which holds for any thin, circularly symmetric disk with mass ; = / for a disk with mass concentrated at the rim, = / for a uniform disk (like Euler disk), is the radius of the disk, and is the angular velocity along ^.

  6. Euler's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_laws_of_motion

    Euler's second law states that the rate of change of angular momentum L about a point that is fixed in an inertial reference frame (often the center of mass of the body), is equal to the sum of the external moments of force acting on that body M about that point: [1] [4] [5]

  7. Spacecraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_flight_dynamics

    The specific angular momentum of any conic orbit, h, is constant, and is equal to the product of radius and velocity at periapsis. At any other point in the orbit, it is equal to: [ 13 ] h = r v cos ⁡ φ , {\displaystyle h=rv\cos \varphi ,} where φ is the flight path angle measured from the local horizontal (perpendicular to r .)

  8. Relativistic angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_angular_momentum

    For reference and background, two closely related forms of angular momentum are given. In classical mechanics, the orbital angular momentum of a particle with instantaneous three-dimensional position vector x = (x, y, z) and momentum vector p = (p x, p y, p z), is defined as the axial vector = which has three components, that are systematically given by cyclic permutations of Cartesian ...

  9. Constant of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_of_motion

    Examples of integrals of motion are the angular momentum vector, =, or a Hamiltonian without time dependence, such as (,) = + (). An example of a function that is a constant of motion but not an integral of motion would be the function C ( x , v , t ) = x − v t {\displaystyle C(x,v,t)=x-vt} for an object moving at a constant speed in one ...
