  2. Lambert's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert's_problem

    The value is positive or negative depending on which of the points and that is furthest away from the point . The geometrical problem to solve is to find all ellipses that go through the points P 1 {\displaystyle P_{1}} and P 2 {\displaystyle P_{2}} and have a focus at the point F 1 {\displaystyle F_{1}}

  3. Two-body problem in general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-body_problem_in...

    In (1+1) dimensions, i.e. a space made of one spatial dimension and one time dimension, the metric for two bodies of equal masses can be solved analytically in terms of the Lambert W function. [11] However, the gravitational energy between the two bodies is exchanged via dilatons rather than gravitons which require three-space in which to ...

  4. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

  5. Action principles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_principles

    A system moving between two points takes one particular path; other similar paths are not taken. Each path corresponds to a value of the action. An action principle predicts or explains that the particular path taken has a stationary value for the system's action: similar paths near the one taken have very similar action value.

  6. Relativity of simultaneity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity

    The dotted horizontal line represents the set of points regarded as simultaneous with the origin by a stationary observer. This diagram is drawn using the (x, t) coordinates of the stationary observer, and is scaled so that the speed of light is one, i.e., so that a ray of light would be represented by a line with a 45° angle from the x axis.

  7. Allee effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allee_effect

    However, the original theory was posited using a one dimensional analysis of a two dimensional model. [11] [12] It turns out that a two dimensional analysis yields an Allee curve in human exploiter and biological population space and that this curve separating species destined to extinction vs persistence can be complicated. Even very high ...

  8. Conservative force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_force

    For a proof, imagine two paths 1 and 2, both going from point A to point B. The variation of energy for the particle, taking path 1 from A to B and then path 2 backwards from B to A, is 0; thus, the work is the same in path 1 and 2, i.e., the work is independent of the path followed, as long as it goes from A to B.

  9. Kutta condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kutta_condition

    The Kutta condition does not apply to unsteady flow. Experimental observations show that the stagnation point (one of two points on the surface of an airfoil where the flow speed is zero) begins on the top surface of an airfoil (assuming positive effective angle of attack) as flow accelerates from zero, and moves backwards as the flow ...
