  2. Torricelli's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_equation

    In physics, Torricelli's equation, or Torricelli's formula, is an equation created by Evangelista Torricelli to find the final velocity of a moving object with constant acceleration along an axis (for example, the x axis) without having a known time interval. The equation itself is: [1] = + where

  3. Terminal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

    Settling velocity W s of a sand grain (diameter d, density 2650 kg/m 3) in water at 20 °C, computed with the formula of Soulsby (1997). When the buoyancy effects are taken into account, an object falling through a fluid under its own weight can reach a terminal velocity (settling velocity) if the net force acting on the object becomes zero.

  4. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    It concerns only variables derived from the positions of objects and time. In circumstances of constant acceleration, these simpler equations of motion are usually referred to as the SUVAT equations, arising from the definitions of kinematic quantities: displacement (s), initial velocity (u), final velocity (v), acceleration (a), and time (t).

  5. Elastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision

    Alternatively the final velocity of a particle, v 2 (v A2 or v B2) is expressed by: = (+) Where: e is the coefficient of restitution. v CoM is the velocity of the center of mass of the system of two particles: = + +

  6. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    Velocity is the speed in combination with the direction of motion of an object. Velocity is a fundamental concept in kinematics, the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of bodies. Velocity is a physical vector quantity: both magnitude and direction are needed to define it.

  7. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    v 2 is the final velocity of the object at the end of the time interval, and; v 1 is the initial velocity of the object when the time interval begins. Impulse has the same units and dimensions (MLT −1) as momentum. In the International System of Units, these are kg⋅m/s = N⋅s. In English engineering units, they are slug⋅ft/s = lbf⋅s.

  8. V speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_speeds

    Final takeoff speed. [7] V H: Maximum speed in level flight at maximum continuous power. [7] [8] [9] V LE: Maximum landing gear extended speed. This is the maximum speed at which a retractable gear aircraft should be flown with the landing gear extended. [7] [8] [9] [20] V LO: Maximum landing gear operating speed.

  9. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    This equation is applicable when the final velocity v is unknown. Figure 2: Velocity and acceleration for nonuniform circular motion: the velocity vector is tangential to the orbit, but the acceleration vector is not radially inward because of its tangential component a θ that increases the rate of rotation: dω/dt = |a θ |/R.
