  2. Angular velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_velocity

    The angular velocity of the particle at P with respect to the origin O is determined by the perpendicular component of the velocity vector v.. In the simplest case of circular motion at radius , with position given by the angular displacement () from the x-axis, the orbital angular velocity is the rate of change of angle with respect to time: =.

  3. Trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory

    The initial velocity, v i, is the speed at which said object is launched from the point of origin. The initial angle , θ i , is the angle at which said object is released. The g is the respective gravitational pull on the object within a null-medium.

  4. 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.

  5. Angular mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_mechanics

    A diagram of angular momentum. Showing angular velocity (Scalar) and radius. In physics, angular mechanics is a field of mechanics which studies rotational movement. It studies things such as angular momentum, angular velocity, and torque. It also studies more advanced things such as Coriolis force [1] and Angular aerodynamics.

  6. Angular frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_frequency

    A sphere rotating around an axis. Points farther from the axis move faster, satisfying ω = v / r.. In physics, angular frequency (symbol ω), also called angular speed and angular rate, is a scalar measure of the angle rate (the angle per unit time) or the temporal rate of change of the phase argument of a sinusoidal waveform or sine function (for example, in oscillations and waves).

  7. Yaw (rotation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_(rotation)

    Yaw velocity can be measured by measuring the ground velocity at two geometrically separated points on the body, or by a gyroscope, or it can be synthesized from accelerometers and the like. It is the primary measure of how drivers sense a car's turning visually. Axes of a ship and rotations around them

  8. List of common physics notations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_physics...

    Meaning SI unit of measure alpha: alpha particle: angular acceleration: radian per second squared (rad/s 2) fine-structure constant: unitless beta: velocity in terms of the speed of light c: unitless beta particle: gamma: Lorentz factor: unitless photon: gamma ray: shear strain: radian

  9. Time of flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_flight

    This information can then be used to measure velocity or path length, or as a way to learn about the particle or medium's properties (such as composition or flow rate). The traveling object may be detected directly (direct time of flight, dToF , e.g., via an ion detector in mass spectrometry) or indirectly (indirect time of flight, iToF , e.g ...
