  2. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_(physics)

    F is the resultant force applied, t 1 and t 2 are times when the impulse begins and ends, respectively, m is the mass of the object, v 2 is the final velocity of the object at the end of the time interval, and; v 1 is the initial velocity of the object when the time interval begins. Impulse has the same units and dimensions (MLT −1) as momentum.

  3. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).

  4. Newton-second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton-second

    The newton-second (also newton second; symbol: N⋅s or N s) [1] is the unit of impulse in the International System of Units (SI). It is dimensionally equivalent to the momentum unit kilogram-metre per second (kg⋅m/s). One newton-second corresponds to a one-newton force applied for one second.

  5. Specific impulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_impulse

    Specific impulse should not be confused with total thrust. Thrust is the force supplied by the engine and depends on the propellant mass flow through the engine. Specific impulse measures the thrust per propellant mass flow. Thrust and specific impulse are related by the design and propellants of the engine in question, but this relationship is ...

  6. Collision response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_response

    The degree of relative kinetic energy retained after a collision, termed the restitution, is dependent on the elasticity of the bodies‟ materials.The coefficient of restitution between two given materials is modeled as the ratio [] of the relative post-collision speed of a point of contact along the contact normal, with respect to the relative pre-collision speed of the same point along the ...

  7. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_universal...

    where F is the gravitational force acting between two objects, m 1 and m 2 are the masses of the objects, r is the distance between the centers of their masses, and G is the gravitational constant The first test of Newton's law of gravitation between masses in the laboratory was the Cavendish experiment conducted by the British scientist Henry ...

  8. Impulse response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_response

    Showing, from top to bottom, the original impulse, the response after high frequency boosting, and the response after low frequency boosting. In signal processing and control theory, the impulse response, or impulse response function (IRF), of a dynamic system is its output when presented with a brief input signal, called an impulse (δ(t ...

  9. Transient response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_response

    The impulse response and step response are transient responses to a specific input (an impulse and a step, respectively). In electrical engineering specifically, the transient response is the circuit’s temporary response that will die out with time. [ 1 ]
