  2. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    is small for low speeds. For example, for a speed of 10 km/s (22,000 mph) the correction to the non-relativistic kinetic energy is 0.0417 J/kg (on a non-relativistic kinetic energy of 50 MJ/kg) and for a speed of 100 km/s it is 417 J/kg (on a non-relativistic kinetic energy of 5 GJ/kg).

  3. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Without friction to dissipate a body's energy into heat, the body's energy will trade between potential and (non-thermal) kinetic forms while the total amount remains constant. Any gain of kinetic energy, which occurs when the net force on the body accelerates it to a higher speed, must be accompanied by a loss of potential energy.

  4. Mechanical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_energy

    In a mechanical system like a swinging pendulum subjected to the conservative gravitational force where frictional forces like air drag and friction at the pivot are negligible, energy passes back and forth between kinetic and potential energy but never leaves the system. The pendulum reaches greatest kinetic energy and least potential energy ...

  5. Fictitious force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force

    The centrifugal force balances the friction between wheels and the road, making the car stationary in this non-inertial frame. A classic example of a fictitious force in circular motion is the experiment of rotating spheres tied by a cord and spinning around their centre of mass. In this case, the identification of a rotating, non-inertial ...

  6. Lagrangian mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_mechanics

    For the case of a conservative force given by the gradient of some potential energy V, a function of the r k coordinates only, substituting the Lagrangian L = T − V gives ˙ ⏟ + ⏟ + = =, and identifying the derivatives of kinetic energy as the (negative of the) resultant force, and the derivatives of the potential equaling the non ...

  7. Elastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision

    During the collision of small objects, kinetic energy is first converted to potential energy associated with a repulsive or attractive force between the particles (when the particles move against this force, i.e. the angle between the force and the relative velocity is obtuse), then this potential energy is converted back to kinetic energy ...

  8. Kinetics (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In physics and engineering, kinetics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion and its causes, specifically, forces and torques. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Since the mid-20th century, the term " dynamics " (or " analytical dynamics ") has largely superseded "kinetics" in physics textbooks, [ 4 ...

  9. Classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_mechanics

    The force due to friction is non-conservative. The kinetic energy E k of a particle of mass m travelling at speed v is given by =. For extended objects composed of many particles, the kinetic energy of the composite body is the sum of the kinetic energies of the particles.
