  2. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    The first equation shows that, after one second, an object will have fallen a distance of 1/2 × 9.8 × 1 2 = 4.9 m. After two seconds it will have fallen 1/2 × 9.8 × 2 2 = 19.6 m; and so on. On the other hand, the penultimate equation becomes grossly inaccurate at great distances.

  3. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    The speed of the object traveling the circle is: ... The moment of inertia is 1 kg·m 2. ... 10 cm 3.9 in Laboratory centrifuge: 10 m/s 2 1.0 g:

  4. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    In SI units, mass is measured in kilograms, speed in metres per second, and the resulting kinetic energy is in joules. For example, one would calculate the kinetic energy of an 80 kg mass (about 180 lbs) traveling at 18 metres per second (about 40 mph, or 65 km/h) as

  5. Elastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision

    The final x and y velocities components of the first ball can be calculated as: [5] ′ = ⁡ () + ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ ⁡ (+) ′ = ⁡ () + ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ ⁡ (+), where v 1 and v 2 are the scalar sizes of the two original speeds of the objects, m 1 and m 2 are their masses, θ 1 and θ 2 are their movement angles, that is, = ⁡, = ⁡ (meaning ...

  6. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    If its temperature is allowed to change by 1 °C, its mass changes by 1.5 picograms (1 pg = 1 × 10 −12 g). [note 5] A spinning ball has greater mass than when it is not spinning. Its increase of mass is exactly the equivalent of the mass of energy of rotation, which is itself the sum of the kinetic energies of all the moving parts of the ball.

  7. Variable-mass system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-mass_system

    At instant 1, a mass dm with velocity u is about to collide with the main body of mass m and velocity v. After a time dt, at instant 2, both particles move as one body with velocity v + dv. The following derivation is for a body that is gaining mass . A body of time-varying mass m moves at a velocity v at an initial time t.

  8. Inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertia

    Inertia is the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes the velocity to change. It is one of the fundamental principles in classical physics, and described by Isaac Newton in his first law of motion (also known as The Principle of Inertia). [1]

  9. Momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

    [1] Example: A model airplane of mass 1 kg accelerates from rest to a velocity of 6 m/s due north in 2 s. The net force required to produce this acceleration is 3 newtons due north. The change in momentum is 6 kg⋅m/s due north. The rate of change of momentum is 3 (kg⋅m/s)/s due north which is numerically equivalent to 3 newtons.
