  2. Bouncing ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouncing_ball

    where a, v, and r denote the acceleration, velocity, and position of the ball, and v 0 and r 0 are the initial velocity and position of the ball, respectively. More specifically, if the ball is bounced at an angle θ with the ground, the motion in the x - and y -axes (representing horizontal and vertical motion, respectively) is described by [ 6 ]

  3. Tautochrone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tautochrone_curve

    Four balls slide down a cycloid curve from different positions, but they arrive at the bottom at the same time. The blue arrows show the points' acceleration along the curve. On the top is the time-position diagram. Objects representing tautochrone curve

  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. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    The acceleration of a falling body in the absence of resistances to motion is dependent only on the gravitational field strength g (also called acceleration due to gravity). By Newton's Second Law the force F g {\displaystyle \mathbf {F_{g}} } acting on a body is given by: F g = m g . {\displaystyle \mathbf {F_{g}} =m\mathbf {g} .}

  6. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    There are two forces; one is the force of gravity vertically downward through the center of mass of the ball mg, where m is the mass of the ball and g is the gravitational acceleration; the second is the upward normal force exerted by the road at a right angle to the road surface ma n. The centripetal force demanded by the curved motion is also ...

  7. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    The formula for the acceleration A P can now be obtained as: = ˙ + + (), or = / + / +, where α is the angular acceleration vector obtained from the derivative of the angular velocity vector; / =, is the relative position vector (the position of P relative to the origin O of the moving frame M); and = ¨ is the acceleration of the origin of ...

  8. Turn and slip indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_and_slip_indicator

    If the ball is on the inside (wing down side) of a turn, the aircraft is slipping. And finally, when the ball is on the outside (wing up side) of the turn, the aircraft is skidding. A simple alternative to the balance indicator used on gliders is a yaw string , which allows the pilot to simply view the string's movements as rudimentary ...
