  2. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    t 1 and t 2 are times when the impulse begins and ends, respectively, m is the mass of the object, 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.

    F = total force acting on the center of mass m = mass of the body I 3 = the 3×3 identity matrix a cm = acceleration of the center of mass v cm = velocity of the center of mass τ = total torque acting about the center of mass I cm = moment of inertia about the center of mass ω = angular velocity of the body α = angular acceleration of the body

  6. 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]

  7. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    is the delta measure or unit mass concentrated at x 0. Another common generalization of the delta function is to a differentiable manifold where most of its properties as a distribution can also be exploited because of the differentiable structure. The delta function on a manifold M centered at the point x 0 ∈ M is defined as the following ...

  9. Specific impulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_impulse

    If mass is used, specific impulse is an impulse per unit of mass, which dimensional analysis shows to be equivalent to units of speed; this interpretation is commonly labeled the effective exhaust velocity. If a force-based unit system is used, impulse is divided by propellant weight (weight is a measure of force), resulting in units of time.
