  2. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    In non-uniform circular motion, an object moves in a circular path with varying speed. Since the speed is changing, there is tangential acceleration in addition to normal acceleration. The net acceleration is directed towards the interior of the circle (but does not pass through its center).

  3. Circular orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_orbit

    Maneuvering into a large circular orbit, e.g. a geostationary orbit, requires a larger delta-v than an escape orbit, although the latter implies getting arbitrarily far away and having more energy than needed for the orbital speed of the circular orbit. It is also a matter of maneuvering into the orbit.

  4. Circular shift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_shift

    Circular shifts are used often in cryptography in order to permute bit sequences. Unfortunately, many programming languages, including C, do not have operators or standard functions for circular shifting, even though virtually all processors have bitwise operation instructions for it (e.g. Intel x86 has ROL and ROR).

  5. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    Tangential speed is the speed of an object undergoing circular motion, i.e., moving along a circular path. [1] A point on the outside edge of a merry-go-round or turntable travels a greater distance in one complete rotation than a point nearer the center. Travelling a greater distance in the same time means a greater speed, and so linear speed ...

  6. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    One common example involving centripetal force is the case in which a body moves with uniform speed along a circular path. The centripetal force is directed at right angles to the motion and also along the radius towards the centre of the circular path. [3] [4] The mathematical description was derived in 1659 by the Dutch physicist Christiaan ...

  8. C mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_mathematical_functions

    C mathematical operations are a group of functions in the standard library of the C programming language implementing basic mathematical functions. [1] [2] All functions use floating-point numbers in one manner or another. Different C standards provide different, albeit backwards-compatible, sets of functions.

  9. C, The Complete Reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C,_The_Complete_Reference

    C, The Complete Reference [1] is a book on computer programming written by Herbert Schildt. The book gives an in-depth coverage of the C language and function libraries features. [2] [3] The first edition was released by Osbourne in 1987. The current version is 4th. Last revision: January 13th, 2018. [4]
