  2. Mass flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flux

    Mathematically, mass flux is defined as the limit =, where = = is the mass current (flow of mass m per unit time t) and A is the area through which the mass flows.. For mass flux as a vector j m, the surface integral of it over a surface S, followed by an integral over the time duration t 1 to t 2, gives the total amount of mass flowing through the surface in that time (t 2 − t 1): = ^.

  3. Drag equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation

    When flow velocity is doubled, for example, not only does the fluid strike with twice the flow velocity, but twice the mass of fluid strikes per second. Therefore, the change of momentum per time, i.e. the force experienced, is multiplied by four.

    Mass (kg) Speed (m/s) Momentum (N⋅s) Explanation 0.42 2.4 1 A 420-gram (15 oz) football (FIFA specified weight for outdoor size 5) kicked to a speed of 8.6 km/h (5.3 mph). 0.42 38 16 The momentum of the famous football kick of the Brazilian player Roberto Carlos in the match against France in 1997. The football had a speed of 137 km/h (85 mph ...

  5. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    The force in the equation is not the force the object exerts. Replacing momentum by mass times velocity, the law is also written more famously as = since m is a constant in Newtonian mechanics. Newton's second law applies to point-like particles, and to all points in a rigid body.

  6. gc (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gc_(engineering)

    In engineering and physics, g c is a unit conversion factor used to convert mass to force or vice versa. [1] It is defined as = In unit systems where force is a derived unit, like in SI units, g c is equal to 1.

  7. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    If a mechanical system has no losses, then the input power must equal the output power. This provides a simple formula for the mechanical advantage of the system. Let the input power to a device be a force F A acting on a point that moves with velocity v A and the output power be a force F B acts on a point that moves with velocity v B.

  8. 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.

  9. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    A set of equations describing the trajectories of objects subject to a constant gravitational force under normal Earth-bound conditions.Assuming constant acceleration g due to Earth's gravity, Newton's law of universal gravitation simplifies to F = mg, where F is the force exerted on a mass m by the Earth's gravitational field of strength g.
