  2. Aircraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_dynamics

    which means the centripetal force is equal to the perturbation in lift force. For the speed, resolving along the trajectory: = where g is the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface. The acceleration along the trajectory is equal to the net x-wise force minus the component of weight.

  3. Couple (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couple_(mechanics)

    A single force acting at any point O′ of a rigid body can be replaced by an equal and parallel force F acting at any given point O and a couple with forces parallel to F whose moment is M = Fd, d being the separation of O and O′. Conversely, a couple and a force in the plane of the couple can be replaced by a single force, appropriately ...

  4. Parallel force system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_force_system

    In engineering, a parallel force system is a type of force system where in all forces are oriented along one axis. An example of this is a see saw . The children are applying the two forces at the ends, and the fulcrum in the middle gives the counter force to maintain the see saw in neutral position.

  5. Parallelogram of force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_of_force

    When more than two forces are involved, the geometry is no longer a parallelogram, but the same principles apply to a polygon of forces. The resultant force due to the application of a number of forces can be found geometrically by drawing arrows for each force. The parallelogram of forces is a graphical manifestation of the addition of vectors.

  6. Stability derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_derivatives

    The aerodynamic forces are generated with respect to body axes, which is not an inertial frame. In order to calculate the motion, the forces must be referred to inertial axes. This requires the body components of velocity to be resolved through the heading angle () into inertial axes. Resolving into fixed (inertial) axes:

  7. Steady flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady_flight

    This equilibrium can be expressed along a variety of axes in a variety of reference frames. The traditional steady flight equations derive from expressing this force balance along three axes: the x w-axis, the radial direction of the aircraft's turn in the x E-y E plane, and the axis perpendicular to x w in the x w-z E plane, [5]

  8. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    [19]: 14–15 The torque can vanish even when the force is non-zero, if the body is located at the reference point (=) or if the force and the displacement vector are directed along the same line. The angular momentum of a collection of point masses, and thus of an extended body, is found by adding the contributions from each of the points.

  9. Collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision

    Collision is short-duration interaction between two bodies or more than two bodies simultaneously causing change in motion of bodies involved due to internal forces acted between them during this. Collisions involve forces (there is a change in velocity). The magnitude of the velocity difference just before impact is called the closing speed.
