  2. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    In physics, circular motion is movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular arc. It can be uniform, with a constant rate of rotation and constant tangential speed, or non-uniform with a changing rate of rotation. The rotation around a fixed axis of a three-dimensional body involves the circular motion ...

  3. Fountain (juggling) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(juggling)

    The circular method means that the balls juggled travel in a circle-like motion with the jugglers hands throwing the ball from a point close to their body centre line and catching the ball further away from their body centre line. This circular motion is called 'outside circles' and is the fountain pattern shown in the animation.

  4. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).

  5. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    A body experiencing uniform circular motion requires a centripetal force, towards the axis as shown, to maintain its circular path. In the case of an object that is swinging around on the end of a rope in a horizontal plane, the centripetal force on the object is supplied by the tension of the rope.

  6. Reactive centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_centrifugal_force

    A ball in circular motion held by a string tied to a fixed post. The figure at right shows a ball in uniform circular motion held to its path by a string tied to an immovable post. In this system a centripetal force upon the ball provided by the string maintains the circular motion, and the reaction to it, which some refer to as the reactive ...

  7. Angular mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_mechanics

    A diagram of angular momentum. Showing angular velocity (Scalar) and radius. In physics, angular mechanics is a field of mechanics which studies rotational movement. It studies things such as angular momentum, angular velocity, and torque.

  8. Equant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equant

    The equant model has a body in motion on a circular path not centered on the Earth. The moving object's speed will vary during its orbit around the outer circle (dashed line), faster in the bottom half and slower in the top half, but the motion is considered uniform because the planet goes through equal angles in equal times from the ...

  9. Angular velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_velocity

    The angular velocity of the particle at P with respect to the origin O is determined by the perpendicular component of the velocity vector v.. In the simplest case of circular motion at radius , with position given by the angular displacement () from the x-axis, the orbital angular velocity is the rate of change of angle with respect to time: =.
