  2. Rotational energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_energy

    An example is the calculation of the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth. As the Earth has a sidereal rotation period of 23.93 hours, it has an angular velocity of 7.29 × 10 −5 rad·s −1. [2] The Earth has a moment of inertia, I = 8.04 × 10 37 kg·m 2. [3] Therefore, it has a rotational kinetic energy of 2.14 × 10 29 J. Part of the ...

  3. Chebyshev lambda linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_Lambda_Linkage

    The example to the right spends over half of the cycle in the near-straight portion. The coupler (link 3) point stays within 1% positional tolerance while intersecting the ideal straight line 6 times. The linkage was first shown in Paris on the Exposition Universelle (1878) as "The Plantigrade Machine".

  4. Poinsot's ellipsoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poinsot's_ellipsoid

    The law of conservation of energy implies that in the absence of energy dissipation or applied torques, the angular kinetic energy is conserved, so =. The angular kinetic energy may be expressed in terms of the moment of inertia tensor I {\displaystyle \mathbf {I} } and the angular velocity vector ω {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\omega }}}

  5. Torus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus

    Poloidal direction (red arrow) and toroidal direction (blue arrow) A torus of revolution in 3-space can be parametrized as: [2] (,) = (+ ⁡) ⁡ (,) = (+ ⁡) ⁡ (,) = ⁡ using angular coordinates θ, φ ∈ [0, 2π), representing rotation around the tube and rotation around the torus's axis of revolution, respectively, where the major radius R is the distance from the center of the tube to ...

  6. Euler's Disk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_Disk

    The evolution of the rotation of the disk is easily visualized in slow motion by looking at the top of the disk following an arrow drawn on the disk representing its radius. As the disk releases the initial energy given by the user and approaches a halt, its rotation about the vertical axis slows, while its contact point oscillation increases.

  7. Rigid rotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_rotor

    The rigid rotor is commonly used to describe the rotational energy of diatomic molecules but it is not a completely accurate description of such molecules. This is because molecular bonds (and therefore the interatomic distance R {\displaystyle R} ) are not completely fixed; the bond between the atoms stretches out as the molecule rotates ...

  8. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    In planar transformations a translation is obtained by reflection in parallel lines, and rotation is obtained by reflection in a pair of intersecting lines. To produce a screw transformation from similar concepts one must use planes in space : the parallel planes must be perpendicular to the screw axis , which is the line of intersection of the ...

  9. Conic section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    In the real projective plane, since parallel lines meet at a point on the line at infinity, the parallel line case of the Euclidean plane can be viewed as intersecting lines. However, as the point of intersection is the apex of the cone, the cone itself degenerates to a cylinder, i.e. with the apex at infinity.
