    Unprimed quantities refer to position, velocity and acceleration in one frame F; primed quantities refer to position, velocity and acceleration in another frame F' moving at translational velocity V or angular velocity Ω relative to F. Conversely F moves at velocity (—V or —Ω) relative to F'. The situation is similar for relative ...

  3. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    For example, "5 metres per second" is a scalar, whereas "5 metres per second east" is a vector. ... the constant velocity that would provide the same resultant ...

  4. Hamiltonian mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_mechanics

    In this example, the time derivative of q is the velocity, and so the first Hamilton equation means that the particle's velocity equals the derivative of its kinetic energy with respect to its momentum.

  5. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    Trajectory of a particle with initial position vector r 0 and velocity v 0, subject to constant acceleration a, all three quantities in any direction, and the position r(t) and velocity v(t) after time t. The initial position, initial velocity, and acceleration vectors need not be collinear, and the equations of motion take an almost identical ...

  6. Relative velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_velocity

    is the velocity of the Man relative to the Train, v T ∣ E {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} _{T\mid E}} is the velocity of the T rain relative to E arth. Fully legitimate expressions for "the velocity of A relative to B" include "the velocity of A with respect to B" and "the velocity of A in the coordinate system where B is always at rest".

  7. False diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_diffusion

    where U is the resultant velocity and θ is the angle made by the velocity vector with the x direction. False diffusion is absent when the resultant flow is aligned with either of the sets of grid lines and is greatest when the flow direction is 45˚ to the grid lines.

  8. Newton-second - Wikipedia

    2 Examples. 3 See also. 4 References. ... It can be used to identify the resultant velocity of a mass if a force accelerates the mass for a specific time interval.

  9. List of equations in wave theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in_wave...

    In dispersive media the phase velocity is not necessarily the same as the group velocity. The phase velocity varies with frequency. The phase velocity is the rate at which the phase of the wave propagates in space. The group velocity is the rate at which the wave envelope, i.e. the changes in amplitude, propagates. The wave envelope is the ...
