  2. Specific orbital energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_orbital_energy

    The specific orbital energy associated with this orbit is −29.6 MJ/kg: the potential energy is −59.2 MJ/kg, and the kinetic energy 29.6 MJ/kg. Compared with the potential energy at the surface, which is −62.6 MJ/kg., the extra potential energy is 3.4 MJ/kg, and the total extra energy is 33.0 MJ/kg.

  3. Characteristic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_energy

    Every object in a 2-body ballistic trajectory has a constant specific orbital energy equal to the sum of its specific kinetic and specific potential energy: = = =, where = is the standard gravitational parameter of the massive body with mass , and is the radial distance from its center. As an object in an escape trajectory moves outward, its ...

  4. Atomic orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital

    Each orbital in an atom is characterized by a set of values of three quantum numbers n, ℓ, and m ℓ, which respectively correspond to electron's energy, its orbital angular momentum, and its orbital angular momentum projected along a chosen axis (magnetic quantum number). The orbitals with a well-defined magnetic quantum number are generally ...

  5. Circular orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_orbit

    the kinetic energy of the system is equal to the absolute value of the total energy; the potential energy of the system is equal to twice the total energy; The escape velocity from any distance is √ 2 times the speed in a circular orbit at that distance: the kinetic energy is twice as much, hence the total energy is zero. [citation needed]

  6. Effective potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_potential

    The effective potential (also known as effective potential energy) combines multiple, perhaps opposing, effects into a single potential. In its basic form, it is the sum of the 'opposing' centrifugal potential energy with the potential energy of a dynamical system .

  7. Specific mechanical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_mechanical_energy

    Specific mechanical energy is the mechanical energy of an object per unit of mass. ... is the orbital speed of the body; relative to center of mass. ...

  8. Energy level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_level

    The energy level of the bonding orbitals is lower, and the energy level of the antibonding orbitals is higher. For the bond in the molecule to be stable, the covalent bonding electrons occupy the lower energy bonding orbital, which may be signified by such symbols as σ or π depending on the situation.
