  2. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    For example, a multi-spindle lathe is used to rotate the material on its axis to effectively increase the productivity of cutting, deformation and turning operations. [2] The angle of rotation is a linear function of time, which modulo 360° is a periodic function. An example of this is the two-body problem with circular orbits.

  3. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    In projectile motion, the horizontal motion and the vertical motion are independent of each other; that is, neither motion affects the other. This is the principle of compound motion established by Galileo in 1638, [ 1 ] and used by him to prove the parabolic form of projectile motion.

  4. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    Then, using the triangle sine law, it is found that the crank to connecting rod angle is 88.21832° and the connecting rod angle is 18.60639° from vertical (see Piston motion equations#Example). When the crank is driven by the connecting rod, a problem arises when the crank is at top dead centre (0°) or bottom dead centre (180°). At these ...

  5. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    The motion is simple harmonic motion where θ 0 is the amplitude of the oscillation (that is, the maximum angle between the rod of the pendulum and the vertical). The corresponding approximate period of the motion is then

  6. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Numerically, a vector can be represented as a list; for example, a body's velocity vector might be = ( /, /), indicating that it is moving at 3 metres per second along the horizontal axis and 4 metres per second along the vertical axis. The same motion described in a different coordinate system will be represented by different numbers, and ...

  7. Bouncing ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouncing_ball

    The motion of a bouncing ball obeys projectile motion. [2] [3] Many forces act on a real ball, namely the gravitational force (F G), the drag force due to air resistance (F D), the Magnus force due to the ball's spin (F M), and the buoyant force (F B). In general, one has to use Newton's second law taking all forces into account to analyze the ...

  8. Inverted pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_pendulum

    Variations on this problem include multiple links, allowing the motion of the cart to be commanded while maintaining the pendulum, and balancing the cart-pendulum system on a see-saw. The inverted pendulum is related to rocket or missile guidance, where the center of gravity is located behind the center of drag causing aerodynamic instability. [2]

  9. Euler's equations (rigid body dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_equations_(rigid...

    In an inertial frame of reference (subscripted "in"), Euler's second law states that the time derivative of the angular momentum L equals the applied torque: = For point particles such that the internal forces are central forces, this may be derived using Newton's second law.
