  2. Angular displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_displacement

    Angular displacement may be signed, indicating the sense of rotation (e.g., clockwise); [1] it may also be greater (in absolute value) than a full turn. In the ISQ/SI, angular displacement is used to define the number of revolutions, N=θ/(2π rad), a ratio-type quantity of dimension one.

  3. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

    If P 1 P 2, P 3 are the components of P with respect to unit vectors i, j, k directed along the axes of the rotating frame (i.e. P = P 1 i + P 2 j +P 3 k), then the first time derivative [dP/dt] of P with respect to the rotating frame is, by definition, dP 1 /dt i + dP 2 /dt j + dP 3 /dt k.

  4. Bent molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_molecular_geometry

    In chemistry, molecules with a non-collinear arrangement of two adjacent bonds have bent molecular geometry, also known as angular or V-shaped. Certain atoms, such as oxygen, will almost always set their two (or more) covalent bonds in non-collinear directions due to their electron configuration .

  5. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    [5] [6] If is the initial position of an object and is the final position, then mathematically the displacement is given by: = The equivalent of displacement in rotational motion is the angular displacement measured in radians. The displacement of an object cannot be greater than the distance because it is also a distance but the shortest one.

  6. Transport phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_phenomena

    In engineering, physics, and chemistry, the study of transport phenomena concerns the exchange of mass, energy, charge, momentum and angular momentum between observed and studied systems. While it draws from fields as diverse as continuum mechanics and thermodynamics, it places a heavy emphasis on the commonalities between the topics covered ...

  7. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

    In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

  8. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    Another example is O(SiH 3) 2 with an Si–O–Si angle of 144.1°, which compares to the angles in Cl 2 O (110.9°), (CH 3) 2 O (111.7°), and N(CH 3) 3 (110.9°). [24] Gillespie and Robinson rationalize the Si–O–Si bond angle based on the observed ability of a ligand's lone pair to most greatly repel other electron pairs when the ligand ...

  9. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    The inward acceleration is 1 metre per square second, v 2 /r. It is subject to a centripetal force of 1 kilogram metre per square second, which is 1 newton. The momentum of the body is 1 kg·m·s −1. The moment of inertia is 1 kg·m 2. The angular momentum is 1 kg·m 2 ·s −1. The kinetic energy is 0.5 joule.
