  2. Exact solutions of classical central-force problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_solutions_of...

    In the classical central-force problem of classical mechanics, some potential energy functions () produce motions or orbits that can be expressed in terms of well-known functions, such as the trigonometric functions and elliptic functions. This article describes these functions and the corresponding solutions for the orbits.

  4. Classical central-force problem - Wikipedia

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

    In classical mechanics, the central-force problem is to determine the motion of a particle in a single central potential field.A central force is a force (possibly negative) that points from the particle directly towards a fixed point in space, the center, and whose magnitude only depends on the distance of the object to the center.

    [12] [13]: 150 The physics concept of force makes quantitative the everyday idea of a push or a pull. Forces in Newtonian mechanics are often due to strings and ropes, friction, muscle effort, gravity, and so forth. Like displacement, velocity, and acceleration, force is a vector quantity.

  6. Force Concept Inventory - Wikipedia

    The Force Concept Inventory is a test measuring mastery of concepts commonly taught in a first semester of physics developed by Hestenes, Halloun, Wells, and Swackhamer (1985). It was the first such " concept inventory " and several others have been developed since for a variety of topics.

    A diagram of Central forces. In classical mechanics, a central force on an object is a force that is directed towards or away from a point called center of force.

  9. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    The three-body problem is a special case of the n-body problem, which describes how n objects move under one of the physical forces, such as gravity. These problems have a global analytical solution in the form of a convergent power series, as was proven by Karl F. Sundman for n = 3 and by Qiudong Wang for n > 3 (see n -body problem for details).
