  2. Right-hand rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule

    Right-hand rule. In mathematics and physics, the right-hand rule is a convention and a mnemonic, utilized to define the orientation of axes in three-dimensional space and to determine the direction of the cross product of two vectors, as well as to establish the direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.

  3. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    The left-hand side is the time derivative of the momentum, and the right-hand side is the force, represented in terms of the potential energy. [9]: 737 Landau and Lifshitz argue that the Lagrangian formulation makes the conceptual content of classical mechanics more clear than starting with Newton's laws. [26]

  4. Fleming's right-hand rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleming's_right-hand_rule

    Fleming's right-hand rule. Fleming's right hand rule. In electromagnetism, Fleming's right-hand rule (for generators) shows the direction of induced current when a conductor attached to a circuit moves in a magnetic field. It can be used to determine the direction of current in a generator's windings. When a conductor such as a wire attached to ...

  5. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    The direction of force on the charge can be determined by a mnemonic known as the right-hand rule (see the figure). [note 3] Using the right hand, pointing the thumb in the direction of the current, and the fingers in the direction of the magnetic field, the resulting force on the charge points outwards from the palm. The force on a negatively ...

  6. Lorentz force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force

    In physics, specifically in electromagnetism, the Lorentz force law is the combination of electric and magnetic force on a point charge due to electromagnetic fields. The Lorentz force, on the other hand, is a physical effect that occurs in the vicinity of electrically neutral, current-carrying conductors causing moving electrical charges to ...

  7. Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle...

    Animation of a computer-generated, simplified model of bike and passive rider demonstrating uncontrolled, but stable weave. Bicycles leaning in a turn. Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics is the science of the motion of bicycles and motorcycles and their components, due to the forces acting on them. Dynamics falls under a branch of physics known as ...

  8. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...

  9. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

    v. t. e. Centrifugal force is a fictitious force in Newtonian mechanics (also called an "inertial" or "pseudo" force) that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference. It appears to be directed radially away from the axis of rotation.
