  2. Double pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_pendulum

    A double pendulum consists of two pendulums attached end to end.. In physics and mathematics, in the area of dynamical systems, a double pendulum, also known as a chaotic pendulum, is a pendulum with another pendulum attached to its end, forming a simple physical system that exhibits rich dynamic behavior with a strong sensitivity to initial conditions. [1]

  3. Generalized coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_coordinates

    A double pendulum. The benefits of generalized coordinates become apparent with the analysis of a double pendulum. For the two masses m i (i = 1, 2), let r i = (x i, y i), i = 1, 2 define their two trajectories. These vectors satisfy the two constraint equations,

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum

    In physics and mathematics, in the area of dynamical systems, a double pendulum, also known as a chaotic pendulum, is a pendulum with another pendulum attached to its end, forming a simple physical system that exhibits rich dynamic behavior with a strong sensitivity to initial conditions. [18]

  6. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(mechanics)

    A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support such that it freely swings back and forth under the influence of gravity. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back towards the equilibrium position.

  7. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    In physics, specifically classical mechanics, the three-body problem is to take the initial positions and velocities (or momenta) of three point masses that orbit each other in space and calculate their subsequent trajectories using Newton's laws of motion and Newton's law of universal gravitation.

  8. Swinging Atwood's machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swinging_Atwood's_Machine

    Since the system is invariant under time reversal and translation, it is equivalent to say that the pendulum starts at the origin and is fired outwards: [1] = The region close to the pivot is singular, since is close to zero and the equations of motion require dividing by . As such, special techniques must be used to rigorously analyze these cases.

  9. Elastic pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_pendulum

    In physics and mathematics, in the area of dynamical systems, an elastic pendulum [1] [2] (also called spring pendulum [3] [4] or swinging spring) is a physical system where a piece of mass is connected to a spring so that the resulting motion contains elements of both a simple pendulum and a one-dimensional spring-mass system.
