  2. Uniform circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    Examples of circular motion include: special satellite orbits around the Earth (circular orbits), a ceiling fan's blades rotating around a hub, a stone that is tied to a rope and is being swung in circles, a car turning through a curve in a race track, an electron moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, and a gear turning inside a ...

  3. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    For example, a multi-spindle lathe is used to rotate the material on its axis to effectively increase the productivity of cutting, deformation and turning operations. [2] The angle of rotation is a linear function of time, which modulo 360° is a periodic function. An example of this is the two-body problem with circular orbits.

    Therefore, it cancels out the ubiquitous centrifugal force found in the first example, and goes a step further to provide exactly the centripetal force demanded by uniform circular motion, so the rotating observer calculates there is no need for tension in the string − the Coriolis force looks after everything.

  5. Simple harmonic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_harmonic_motion

    Simple harmonic motion can be considered the one-dimensional projection of uniform circular motion. If an object moves with angular speed ω around a circle of radius r centered at the origin of the xy-plane, then its motion along each coordinate is simple harmonic motion with amplitude r and angular frequency ω.

    Circular orbit – Orbit with a fixed distance from the barycenter; Mohr's circle – Geometric civil engineering calculation technique; Non-uniform circular motion – Object movement along a circular path; Thomson problem – Max distance configuration for N points on a sphere

  7. Equant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equant

    The uniformity was generally assumed to be observed from the center of the deferent, and since that happens at only one point, only non-uniform motion is observed from any other point. Ptolemy displaced the observation point from the center of the deferent to the equant point. This can be seen as violating the axiom of uniform circular motion.

  8. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

    For example, an analysis of the motion of an object in an airliner in flight could be made relative to the airliner, to the surface of the Earth, or even to the Sun. [12] A reference frame that is at rest (or one that moves with no rotation and at constant velocity) relative to the "fixed stars" is generally taken to be an inertial frame. Any ...

  9. Acceleration (special relativity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration_(special...

    Also equations of motion can be formulated which connect acceleration and force. Equations for several forms of acceleration of bodies and their curved world lines follow from these formulas by integration. Well known special cases are hyperbolic motion for constant longitudinal proper acceleration or uniform circular motion.
