  2. Morison equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morison_equation

    The Morison equation is a heuristic formulation of the force fluctuations in an oscillatory flow. The first assumption is that the flow acceleration is more-or-less uniform at the location of the body. For instance, for a vertical cylinder in surface gravity waves this requires that the diameter of the cylinder is much smaller than the wavelength.

  3. Tsiolkovsky rocket equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

    A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...

  4. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    Equations for a falling body. A set of equations describing the trajectories of objects subject to a constant gravitational force under normal Earth -bound conditions. Assuming constant acceleration g due to Earth’s gravity, Newton's law of universal gravitation simplifies to F = mg, where F is the force exerted on a mass m by the Earth’s ...

  5. Renal ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_ultrasonography

    ultrasound exam of kidneys. Renal ultrasonography (Renal US) is the examination of one or both kidneys using medical ultrasound. Ultrasonography of the kidneys is essential in the diagnosis and management of kidney-related diseases. The kidneys are easily examined, and most pathological changes in the kidneys are distinguishable with ultrasound.

  6. Doppler ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_ultrasonography

    Any sudden changes in direction of blood flow produces audible sounds on the ultrasound machine. [3] In spectral Doppler, the y-axis shows the direction and velocity of the flow. Meanwhile, the x-axis (as known as "baseline") shows the flow over time. The gradient at any point on the waveform would therefore shows the acceleration of the flow ...

  7. Newton–Euler equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton–Euler_equations

    Traditionally the Newton–Euler equations is the grouping together of Euler's two laws of motion for a rigid body into a single equation with 6 components, using column vectors and matrices. These laws relate the motion of the center of gravity of a rigid body with the sum of forces and torques (or synonymously moments) acting on the rigid body.

  8. Euler's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_laws_of_motion

    where b is the force acting on the body per unit mass (dimensions of acceleration, misleadingly called the "body force"), and dm = ρ dV is an infinitesimal mass element of the body. Body forces and contact forces acting on the body lead to corresponding moments of those forces relative to a given point.

  9. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    [3] Because Newton generally referred to mass times velocity as the "motion" of a particle, the phrase "change of motion" refers to the mass times acceleration of the particle, and so this law is usually written as =, where F is understood to be the only external force acting on the particle, m is the mass of the particle, and a is its ...
