  2. Hinge theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinge_theorem

    In geometry, the hinge theorem (sometimes called the open mouth theorem) states that if two sides of one triangle are congruent to two sides of another triangle, and the included angle of the first is larger than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is longer than the third side of the second triangle. [1]

  3. Einstein radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_radius

    For a source right behind the lens, θ S = 0, the lens equation for a point mass gives a characteristic value for θ 1 that is called the Einstein angle, denoted θ E. When θ E is expressed in radians, and the lensing source is sufficiently far away, the Einstein Radius, denoted R E, is given by =. [2]

  4. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

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

    Classical mechanics is the branch of physics used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects. [1] It is the most familiar of the theories of physics. The concepts it covers, such as mass, acceleration, and force, are commonly used and known. [2]

    A Magic Triangle image mnemonic - when the terms of Ohm's law are arranged in this configuration, covering the unknown gives the formula in terms of the remaining parameters. It can be adapted to similar equations e.g. F = ma, v = fλ, E = mcΔT, V = π r 2 h and τ = rF sinθ.

  6. Spherical pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_pendulum

    In physics, a spherical pendulum is a higher dimensional analogue of the pendulum. It consists of a mass m moving without friction on the surface of a sphere . The only forces acting on the mass are the reaction from the sphere and gravity .

  7. End correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_correction

    The analysis above applies only to an ideal tube, of zero diameter. When designing an organ or Boomwhacker, the diameter of the tube must be taken into account. In acoustics, end correction is a short distance applied or added to the actual length of a resonance pipe, in order to calculate the precise resonant frequency of the pipe. The pitch ...

  8. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support such that it freely swings back and forth under the influence of gravity. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back towards the equilibrium position.

  9. Innermost stable circular orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innermost_stable_circular...

    The ISCO is the result of an attractive term in the equation representing the energy of a test particle near the central object. [2] This term cannot be offset by additional angular momentum, and any particle within this radius will spiral into the center.
