  2. Zero-velocity surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-velocity_surface

    Jacobi constant, a Zero Velocity Surface and Curve (also Hill's curve) [1] A zero-velocity surface is a concept that relates to the N-body problem of gravity. It represents a surface a body of given energy cannot cross, since it would have zero velocity on the surface. It was first introduced by George William Hill. [2]

  3. No-slip condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-slip_condition

    The no-slip condition is an empirical assumption that has been useful in modelling many macroscopic experiments. It was one of three alternatives that were the subject of contention in the 19th century, with the other two being the stagnant-layer (a thin layer of stationary fluid on which the rest of the fluid flows) and the partial slip (a finite relative velocity between solid and fluid ...

  4. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    The linear motion can be of two types: uniform linear motion, with constant velocity (zero acceleration); and non-uniform linear motion, with variable velocity (non-zero acceleration). The motion of a particle (a point-like object) along a line can be described by its position x {\displaystyle x} , which varies with t {\displaystyle t} (time).

  5. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Lower deceleration limit — zero jerk; linear decrease in velocity; Deceleration ramp down — positive jerk limit; linear increase in acceleration to zero; quadratic decrease in velocity; approaching the desired position at zero speed and zero acceleration; Segment four's time period (constant velocity) varies with distance between the two ...

  6. Classical central-force problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Classical_central-force_problem

    Thus, the areal velocity is constant for a particle acted upon by any type of central force; this is Kepler's second law. [13] Conversely, if the motion under a conservative force F is planar and has constant areal velocity for all initial conditions of the radius r and velocity v, then the azimuthal acceleration a φ is always zero.

  7. Inertial frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference

    All frames of reference with zero acceleration are in a state of constant rectilinear motion (straight-line motion) with respect to one another. In such a frame, an object with zero net force acting on it, is perceived to move with a constant velocity, or, equivalently, Newton's first law of motion holds. Such frames are known as inertial.

  8. Jacobi integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi_Integral

    Jacobi constant, Zero Velocity Surface and Curve. In celestial mechanics, Jacobi's integral (also known as the Jacobi integral or Jacobi constant) is the only known conserved quantity for the circular restricted three-body problem. [1]

  9. Instant centre of rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_centre_of_rotation

    where is velocity of point A, angular velocity of wheel and vector from point P to A. The further a point in the wheel is from the instant center P, the proportionally larger its speed. Therefore, the point at the top of the wheel moves in the same direction as the center M of the wheel, but twice as fast, since it is twice the distance away ...
