  2. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    In non-uniform circular motion, an object moves in a circular path with varying speed. Since the speed is changing, there is tangential acceleration in addition to normal acceleration. The net acceleration is directed towards the interior of the circle (but does not pass through its center).

  3. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    Tangential speed is the speed of an object undergoing circular motion, i.e., moving along a circular path. [1] A point on the outside edge of a merry-go-round or turntable travels a greater distance in one complete rotation than a point nearer the center. Travelling a greater distance in the same time means a greater speed, and so linear speed ...

  4. Trochoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochoid

    A prolate trochoid with b/a = 5/4 A curtate trochoid with b/a = 4/5. As a circle of radius a rolls without slipping along a line L, the center C moves parallel to L, and every other point P in the rotating plane rigidly attached to the circle traces the curve called the trochoid.

  5. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    One common example involving centripetal force is the case in which a body moves with uniform speed along a circular path. The centripetal force is directed at right angles to the motion and also along the radius towards the centre of the circular path. [3] [4] The mathematical description was derived in 1659 by the Dutch physicist Christiaan ...

  6. Slerp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slerp

    A slerp path is, in fact, the spherical geometry equivalent of a path along a line segment in the plane; a great circle is a spherical geodesic. Oblique vector rectifies to slerp factor. More familiar than the general slerp formula is the case when the end vectors are perpendicular, in which case the formula is p 0 cos θ + p 1 sin θ.

  7. C mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_mathematical_functions

    C mathematical operations are a group of functions in the standard library of the C programming language implementing basic mathematical functions. [1] [2] All functions use floating-point numbers in one manner or another. Different C standards provide different, albeit backwards-compatible, sets of functions.

  9. Del in cylindrical and spherical coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_in_cylindrical_and...

    This article uses the standard notation ISO 80000-2, which supersedes ISO 31-11, for spherical coordinates (other sources may reverse the definitions of θ and φ): . The polar angle is denoted by [,]: it is the angle between the z-axis and the radial vector connecting the origin to the point in question.
