  2. 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 ...

  3. Swing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_equation

    A power system consists of a number of synchronous machines operating synchronously under all operating conditions. Under normal operating conditions, the relative position of the rotor axis and the resultant magnetic field axis is fixed. The angle between the two is known as the power angle, torque angle, or rotor angle. During any disturbance ...

  4. Drag equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation

    In fluid dynamics, the drag equation is a formula used to calculate the force of drag experienced by an object due to movement through a fully enclosing fluid.The equation is: = where

    where the quantities in these equations are: is the velocity > is the flight path angle is the altitude; is the atmospheric density; is the ballistic coefficient; is the gravitational acceleration

  7. Stopping sight distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopping_sight_distance

    a = deceleration rate, m/s 2 (ft/s 2) Actual braking distances are affected by the vehicle type and condition, the incline of the road, the available traction, and numerous other factors. A deceleration rate of 3.4 m/s 2 (11.2 ft/s 2) is used to determine stopping sight distance. [6]

    The Chicago Bears intend to interview Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman for their head coaching vacancy, NFL Network reported Sunday. Freeman, of course, has more pressing matters at the moment.

  9. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Power in mechanical systems is the combination of forces and movement. In particular, power is the product of a force on an object and the object's velocity, or the product of a torque on a shaft and the shaft's angular velocity. Mechanical power is also described as the time derivative of work.
