  2. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

    For example, in an Earth-bound reference system (where the earth is represented as stationary), the fictitious force (the net of Coriolis and centrifugal forces) is enormous and is responsible for the Sun orbiting around the Earth. This is due to the large mass and velocity of the Sun (relative to the Earth).

  3. Slack bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_bus

    Slack bus – to balance the active and reactive power in the system. It is also known as the Reference Bus or the Swing Bus. The slack bus will serve as an angular reference for all other buses in the system, which is set to 0°. The voltage magnitude is also assumed to be 1 p.u. at the slack bus.

  4. Bent molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_molecular_geometry

    Water (H 2 O) is an example of a bent molecule, as well as its analogues. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°. [ 1 ] Nonlinear geometry is commonly observed for other triatomic molecules and ions containing only main group elements, prominent examples being nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), sulfur dichloride (SCl 2 ...

  5. Singlet oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singlet_oxygen

    [16] [17] [18] The paramagnetism of the 1 Δ g state is due to a net orbital (and not spin) electronic angular momentum. In a magnetic field the degeneracy of the M L {\displaystyle M_{L}} levels is split into two levels with z projections of angular momenta +1 ħ and −1 ħ around the molecular axis.

  6. Diatomic molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomic_molecule

    The only chemical elements that form stable homonuclear diatomic molecules at standard temperature and pressure (STP) (or at typical laboratory conditions of 1 bar and 25 °C) are the gases hydrogen (H 2), nitrogen (N 2), oxygen (O 2), fluorine (F 2), and chlorine (Cl 2), and the liquid bromine (Br 2).

  7. Euler's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_laws_of_motion

    Euler's second law states that the rate of change of angular momentum L about a point that is fixed in an inertial reference frame (often the center of mass of the body), is equal to the sum of the external moments of force acting on that body M about that point: [1] [4] [5]

  8. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    Angular velocity: the angular velocity ω is the rate at which the angular position θ changes with respect to time t: = The angular velocity is represented in Figure 1 by a vector Ω pointing along the axis of rotation with magnitude ω and sense determined by the direction of rotation as given by the right-hand rule.

  9. Angular acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_acceleration

    In physics, angular acceleration (symbol α, alpha) is the time rate of change of angular velocity.Following the two types of angular velocity, spin angular velocity and orbital angular velocity, the respective types of angular acceleration are: spin angular acceleration, involving a rigid body about an axis of rotation intersecting the body's centroid; and orbital angular acceleration ...
